What are the Applications of Taylor Cones in Nanotechnology?
Taylor cones are at the heart of several nanotechnology applications:
- Electrospinning: This technique uses Taylor cones to produce nanofibers from polymer solutions. These nanofibers have applications in tissue engineering, filtration, and drug delivery. - Electrospraying: Taylor cones are used to create fine aerosol droplets, which can be applied in coating technologies, nanoparticle synthesis, and pharmaceutical formulations. - Nanopatterning: Using Taylor cone jets, precise patterns can be deposited on substrates for electronics and sensor applications.
