Scaffold + structural materials
Tunable fiber diameter, basis weight, and pore-size distribution give scaffold-research teams a controllable porous architecture to build on.

The material platform behind
next-generation biomedical work.
NXTNANO gives biomedical and life-science partners a tunable nanofiber materials platform (biocompatible polymer chemistry, controllable porosity, and production weights as low as 0.1 GSM) to explore scaffold, delivery, and barrier-media applications.

From polymer to the scaffold partners build on.
Scroll through the build. Each stage activates the scaffold on the right and clarifies where NXTNANO engineers the material versus where the development partner takes ownership.
01
POLYMER SELECTION
Start with the right biocompatible chemistry.
Partners begin from the material question, not the machine. NXTNANO draws from a biocompatible polymer library (protein, collagen, PLA, PEO, PES, TPU) to match the chemistry to the scaffold, barrier, or delivery behavior the application explores.
Protein · collagen · PLA · PEO · PES · TPU
02
SOLUTION + FORMULATION
The polymer becomes a spinnable formulation.
Chemistry is brought into a HYPR-Spinnable formulation: single-polymer or multi-polymer blends, including water-soluble PEO for sacrificial or release-oriented constructions. Formulation sets the fiber behavior before a single fiber forms.

03
HYPR SPINNING™
This is where NXTNANO engineers the fiber.
HYPR Spinning™ lays nanofiber directly onto the carrier with direct fiber-to-substrate adhesion. Fiber diameter, basis weight, and pore size are tuned during production, the controllable variables that define the scaffold the partner builds on.
50 nm – 1 µm+ fiber · 0.1 – 15 GSM · direct adhesion
04
SCAFFOLD ARCHITECTURE
A tunable porous scaffold takes shape.
The result is a porous nanofiber web with controllable pore-size distribution and surface area, supplied as surface coating, scrim, or full membrane. It is a material platform for exploration, characterized by its properties, not by an application claim.

PARTNER INTEGRATION
The partner builds, and validates, the product.
Product design, application testing, regulatory clearance, and any performance evaluation are owned by the development partner. NXTNANO partners on the material layer inside, under appropriate development agreements.

Areas of exploration: figure 02
Where partners spec the material in.
Four material directions teams explore with the platform. Each describes a capability of the nanofiber; the application, testing, and validation belong to the development partner.
Delivery + release
Delivery + release platforms
Multi-polymer constructions, including water-soluble PEO, support development teams exploring active-ingredient delivery and release behavior.
Filtration + barrier
Filtration + barrier media
Mechanical particulate capture for masks, respirators, and barrier-media constructions, driven by fiber architecture, not electrostatic charge.
Cosmetic + skincare
Cosmetic + skincare research
Production weights as low as 0.1 GSM and a soft, conformable hand make the platform a candidate for skincare material exploration.
Areas above describe platform material properties. Specific application fit and any performance evaluation require sample testing with the development partner.

Application class
Scaffold + structural materialsMaterial question
Which biocompatible chemistry and pore-size distribution give the scaffold architecture the research is exploring?
Polymer direction
May start with collagen or protein-based fiber for cell-friendly chemistry, or PLA for a bio-based, compostable backbone. Fiber diameter and porosity are tuned to the construction.

Exploration note
The platform supplies the porous material. Application design, testing, and any validation are owned by the development partner.
Polymer direction reflects general material orientation. Application fit and any performance always require sample evaluation and partner-owned product development.
