Our innovative Sonic Electrospinning Technology enables the creation of nanofibres functionalized with high loadings of small active particles, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), catalysts and other solid particles that benefit from a high surface area.


Overcoming Common Challenges with high value functional Micro or Nano particles

Highly functional small particles such as MOFs, Platinum, Paladium, Rare Earth Elements and other nanoparticles are important in a variety of applications including: molecular separation, electrolyzers, ammonium production and biotechnology.

These particles possess exceptional properties but often face practical limitations for use. Challenges in these include:

  • Reduced Surface Area: Applying powders to films or textiles often diminishes their surface areas and can lead to particle loss in the environment.
  • Scaling Issues: Fixing these substances onto porous substrates can be challenging to scale effectively.
  • Cost Issues: The cost effectiveness of any eventual application is often driven by how much of these expensive functional particles are required.

Enhancing Performance with NanoLayr Sonic Electrospinning

NanoLayr’s Sonic Electrospinning process binds MOFs and other solid particles onto the polymeric nanofibre material, resulting in superior performance:

  • Reusability: Locking active particles within nanofibres prevents shedding, securing them for continual use while also protecting the user from exposure.
  • Wide Range of Applications: Ideal for carbon capture, catalyst-doped materials, hydrogen and ammonium production, pollution and toxic gas filters, PPE for chemical and biological protection, and industrial toxic gas control.​
  • Versatile Form: Nanofibre/particle composites can be produced as rolled goods, ready for pleating, laminating, and converting into diverse applications.
  • Wide Range of Applications: Ideal for carbon capture, catalyst-doped materials, hydrogen and ammonium production, pollution and toxic gas filters, PPE for chemical and biological protection, and industrial toxic gas control.
  • Increased Porosity and Reactivity: Our fabrics offer enhanced porosity and reactivity towards target molecules.
  • Efficient Particle Utilization: Enhanced access to particles ensures more efficient utilization and reduced costs.
  • High Particle Loading: Achieve particle loadings of 50-60% (w/w) are usually possible.
