Business with miniature fibers attracts more and more companies. NAFIGATE - global portal on nanofibers - brings insight of Ekonom magazine which interviewed two finding fathers of electrospinning - Ladislav Mares and Oldrich Jirsak. http://www.nafigate.com/en/section/portal/app/theme/edit/66/lang_en

China invests heavily to nanotechnologies. Therefore there is a good reason to attend CHInano. More here.

The content of our nafigate portal is created mainly in Liberec, Czech Republic and not by chance - Liberec has over time become a synonym for nanotechnologies, not only in the Czech Republic but world wide. It is therefore logical that one of the exhibitions in the new iQLANDIA science center in Liberec is dedicated to nanotechnologies.

Market competitions force the engineers to design electronic devices more powerful but importantly smaller in size. Such smaller size electronic devices face the problem of heat generated from the process cycle, thus experience poor reliability. Efficient thermal interface materials that are able to remove heat from electronic devices have been in great demand.

NAFIGATE is proud to bring an exclusive interview with prof. Stan Veprek from the Technical University of Munich who is one of the most outstanding scientists working in materials science. His research field is materials and surface science, thin film coatings including superhard wear resistant films, light-emitting Si, microcystalline Si, and since 1995 superhard nanocomposite materials.

Conventional flat-sheet and hollow fibers membranes are widely being used in pressure-driven osmosis (Reverse Osmosis - RO) applications due to their superior permselectivity. Owing to high operating/maintenance costs required for RO process, alternative processes with less-energy intensive nature have been under investigation by leading membrane scientists. One of such processes, called Forward Osmosis (FO), uses an osmotic pressure difference instead.
