Towamencin, Pennsylvania—March 22, 2016— Engineering academy students in the DeltaPhase research team, Jonathan Hollenbach, Nicholas Seiberlich and Mark Wallace have recently electrospun core sheath nanofibers of Polyvinyl Butyl (PVB )and Octadecane.

The next step in their research is to perform analysis to determine two things:  (1) the quality of the core-sheath nanofibers and (2) how well their nanofibers store excess thermal energy.  Plans are in the works to travel to Drexel University to use their Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). 

Stay tuned… much more exciting research is coming!
