Electrospinning feasibility & nanofiber product development services
NTP R&D Services helps companies evaluate whether electrospinning can solve a specific material, product-development, or delivery challenge.
We provide project-based electrospinning R&D support from early feasibility through laboratory-scale prototype development. Rather than starting with nanofibers as the solution, we first evaluate whether the unique properties of electrospun materials—high surface area, controlled porosity, small fiber diameter, and ability to incorporate functional materials—can provide a meaningful performance advantage for the application.
Our services can include:
Material and polymer selection Electrospinning feasibility assessment Formulation and process optimization Incorporation of active ingredients, nanoparticles, or functional additives Prototype nanofiber fabrication Fiber morphology and SEM characterization Dissolution, release, airflow, filtration, or other application-specific testing Comparison with conventional materials or delivery formats Technical recommendations for further development and scale-up
Potential applications include filtration, skincare and topical delivery, wound care, biomedical materials, cell-culture scaffolds, food packaging, batteries, functional membranes, and sustainable materials.
Projects can begin with a small, clearly defined feasibility study so companies can determine whether electrospinning is technically valuable before committing to larger development programs.
We are looking to work with companies that have a real technical challenge where nanofibers may offer a distinct performance advantage.
About NTP R&D Services Ltd
NTP R&D Services Ltd, operating as NTP Research, is a Canadian nanotechnology company that specializes in the development and commercialization of electrospun nanofiber delivery platforms. The company bridges the gap between laboratory-scale research and industrial-scale manufacturing by providing a flexible technology platform that enables the creation of high-surface-area delivery systems. These systems are used to deliver active ingredients through oral mucosa or transdermal patches, offering advantages such as rapid dissolution, enhanced stability for heat-sensitive compounds, and improved absorption by bypassing gastrointestinal degradation. Their service model includes formulation support, prototype development, and scalable manufacturing pathways for partners across the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and skincare industries.
This technology is significant for customers seeking to improve the efficacy and user experience of their active ingredients. By moving away from traditional, less efficient delivery methods—such as large capsules or heavy creams—brands can offer consumers dissolvable, targeted solutions like the company's NFPatch for skincare recovery or oral thin films for supplements. The company supports partners from the conceptual stage through to production, assisting with customization of patch shapes, thicknesses, and active loading. NTP has demonstrated the viability of its platform through clinical evaluations and by helping brands successfully translate laboratory innovations into consumer-ready products.
