Abstract
Electrospinning is a fibre formation method capable for
producing sub-micron and nanosized fibres. Electrostatic
field is uti-lized for drawing of fibres from polymeric
solutions, and nonwoven structures can be obtained.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is method used for
preparing coatings on atomistic level. This method is a
surface controlled layer-by-layer process based on
self-terminating gas-solid reactions. We have now
combined these two processes and removal of template
fibre for producing tubes. The aim of this presentation
is to give an introduction to Tubes by Fibre Templates
process (TUFT) combining electrospinning and ALD
processes and discuss application possibilities of such
tube materials. Some results of preliminary trials are
also given.
