The Center has acquired a melt spinner, the result of a collaboration with DTRA-JSTO and the North Carolina State University Nonwovens Institute. Melt spinning is a process used to create non-knit, non-woven fibers, such as filters for N95 masks. It will be used by researchers and engineers to better understand the materials used in the process and their properties.
