Patents

Some of the patents are the foundation of Fiberio Technology Inc. start up co-founded by Lozano, where she also acted as CTO. This new technology (Forcespinning®) utilizes centrifugal force instead of hot air or an electrostatic charge to create super fine fibers from a broad range of materials including metals and ceramics. The productivity of nanofibers increases significantly, resulting in an unparalled productive capacity besides overcoming many of the limitations encountered in current nanofiber manufacturing methods.
