Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) October 6, 2006 Electrospinning may be a well established method for creating small diameter fibers, but its true potential for performance improvements across a wide range of applications has only recently been recognized. This breakthrough nanotechnology has potential to create new industry models in manufacturing and supply for medicine, industrial filtration, drug delivery, and the military. Applications for electrospun fibers range from scaffolding for tissue engineering (bone, cartilage blood vessel regeneration), to bioresorbable drug delivery systems for hard-to-treat wounds, to protective clothing with reactive sites for biological recognition elements….

BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB) August 20, 2007 ????Silicone hydrogels make possible a new generation of ‘super-permeable’ contact lenses that can transmit unprecedented amounts of oxygen to the cornea and, in some cases, enable 30 consecutive days of ‘extended wear’ without removal. “Silicone-hydrogel contact lenses represent a breakthrough over traditional hydrogel soft contact lenses, because silicone permits so much more oxygen to pass through the lens, which is essential for a healthy cornea,” said Bob Ward. “In fact, these next-generation lenses allow six or seven times more oxygen to permeate than previous contact lenses, which is why they are becoming very popular with both wearers….
