| Abstract Scope |
Battery-powered pressurised spinning introduces a portable and sustainable alternative to conventional fibre manufacturing systems. By integrating a rechargeable power source into the system, an advanced portable device was designed, manufactured, and tested for efficient fibre production without reliance on grid power. The system was engineered to promote energy-efficient fibre formation. Using the proposed device, water-soluble, biodegradable polymers with minimal environmental impact were processed to produce fibres with uniform morphology and high yield. Performance metrics, including power consumption, run time, and operational cost, were analysed in detail and compared to a traditional mains-powered setup. This work demonstrates that decentralised manufacturing using battery-powered pressurised spinning can reduce environmental impact and enables on-point fibre production, particularly relevant for biomedical and wound care applications. These advances align with the sustainability framework of fibre processing concept and highlight a shift toward low-cost, off-grid material manufacturing strategies that will be discussed in this invited talk. |
