Kortsen’s main area of work is in Gel Spinning of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). His contribution will help provide gel spinning expertise and equipment in the near future to a ...

As spinning process continues to iterate and advance, an increasing number of tube parts are being formed by spinning process, encompassing both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Concurrently, composite ...

Using the gel electrospinning process "is essentially very similar to the conventional [gel spinning] process in terms of the materials we're bringing in, but because we're using electrical forces" ...
