Nanosan® Nanofiber Matrix
SNS Nano Fiber Technology, LLC
http://www.snsnano.com/
A nonwoven micro- and nano-fiber material with high absorbancy and elasticity, and an extremely soft feel. Functional particles, from nanoscale dimensions to as large as 250 microns, can be entrapped or encapsulated in the fiber matrix. These particles may be selected to achieve specific properties in the material, such as protein or oil absorbency, or increased absorption of water. The material has a high surface to volume ratio due to the nanofiber composition, which produces a breathable fabric. The material is elastic, with elongation of up to 500%. The material is highly absorbent in water, and is able to retain up to 1,100% of its weight. When super absorbent particles (SAPs) are incorporated into the fabric, the absorbance increases to 18,500%. The fabric is produced using polyurethane, but can be manufactured from a mixture of other polymer compositions as well. The manufacturer will produce the nanofiber matrix from various polymer blends and with standard or custom particle additives. The mats are sold in rolls or sheets with width up to 1 m (3.28 ft) and thickness up to 2 mm (0.08 in). Applications include filtration, medical and personal care products, fuel cell membranes, and barrier and protective military garments.
