Overview
Nanofibre matrices are engineered from extremely fine fibres that create a porous, breathable scaffold.
Our research looks at how fibre structure and materials can be tuned to support healing while remaining practical to manufacture.
Research goals
- 01
Breathable structure
Porous architectures that allow exchange while protecting the wound.
- 02
Tunable design
Adjust fibre properties for different wound types.
- 03
Scalable process
Methods that can move from the lab towards production.
Development stages
- 1
Discover
Explore materials and fabrication approaches.
- 2
Fabricate
Produce and iterate on fibre matrices.
- 3
Characterise
Examine structure and material behaviour.
- 4
Validate
Assess suitability for wound care use.
Potential applications
- Skin repair
- Surgical wounds
- Advanced dressings
