High-throughput AC electrospun nanofiber webs for next-generation absorbent hygiene
TruSpin Nanomaterials is developing high-throughput AC electrospun nanofiber webs as a platform for next-generation absorbent hygiene materials. Conventional absorbent products rely heavily on SAP and fiber structures that must balance rapid fluid acquisition, distribution, retention and rewet. We believe engineered nanofiber structures may provide an opportunity to reduce SAP loading while improving fluid management and potentially enabling new absorbent architectures.
TruSpin's AC electrospinning technology enables substantially higher nanofiber production rates than conventional laboratory-scale DC electrospinning, creating a pathway toward commercially relevant manufacturing. Our platform can produce and collect engineered nanofiber webs with controlled fiber characteristics and basis weight.
Published research has demonstrated electrospun nanofiber materials with high absorbency and has explored nanofiber structures as alternatives or complements to conventional SAP. TruSpin's opportunity is to translate these concepts toward scalable manufacturing and evaluate their performance in real absorbent-hygiene structures.
We are seeking an R&D collaboration with P&G Baby Care to define and conduct proof-of-concept trials, evaluate SAP-reduction potential, and assess acquisition, distribution, retention, rewet, thickness and manufacturability. Initial work could focus on a nanofiber functional layer integrated with a conventional absorbent core, providing a practical path toward testing before pursuing a fully SAP-free architecture.
About Truspin Nanomaterial Innovation, Inc.
TruSpin Nanomaterial Innovation, Inc. is an advanced manufacturing company that specializes in industrial-scale nanofiber production using its proprietary Alternating Current Electrospinning (ACES) technology. Unlike conventional direct current (DC) electrospinning, which is typically limited to single-jet laboratory techniques, TruSpin’s ACES platform utilizes an alternating current field to achieve significantly higher throughput—approximately 20,000 times the base output of a single DC spinneret. This patent-protected process allows for the continuous production of inorganic, organic, and polymer nanofibers with precise control over fiber diameter, alignment, porosity, and cross-linking. The technology is designed to handle exotic material compositions and high levels of additives, enabling the creation of custom nanofiber membranes, scaffolds, and coatings that meet specific technical requirements.
The company serves a diverse range of sectors, including biomedical engineering, water filtration, energy storage, and cultivated meat production. By providing a scalable manufacturing solution that transitions seamlessly from research-scale prototypes to full commercial-volume production, TruSpin addresses critical industry challenges related to material performance and manufacturing limitations. Their services include custom nanofiber development, process engineering, and collaborative R&D, helping partners integrate specialized nanomaterials into applications such as tissue engineering, advanced composites, and environmental filtration systems. Through these capabilities, TruSpin aims to enable the widespread commercial adoption of advanced nanofiber technologies across industrial and research markets.
