"A novel technique called laser spinning will be employed to synthesize glass ceramic fibres with several compositions and structures, showing diameters in the range from nanometres up to micrometers. This novel technique presents different advantages such as the simplicity of the experimental system which is carried out in ambient conditions and a high production rate, and also several potential possibilities such as the ability to produce fibres with different compositions and morphologies. All together s et this novel technique in a promising position to be applied to synthesize bioactive ceramic fibres with tailored properties in the nanometre and millimetre ranges.The general objectives of the project are: to study the laser spinning process and the grow th mechanism of the fibres, and to achieve the control of the composition and morphology of the fibres produced."
