VISIT+TO+REVOLUTION+FIBRES

Letter to Revolution Fibres.

Dear Mr Hosie and team,

On the 15th November we were lucky enough to be part of a small group of pupils who visited your laboratory.

One of the highlights of our trip was seeing the electrospinning machine in action. We learned that one million nanofibres fit into a single millimetre! We put a sample of cloth from the electrospinning machine into a machine that zoomed into the cloth and showed the tangled up fibres inside.

At the start of our trip we were shown a photo of one human hair with nano fibres underneath it and it was amazing to see how large the hair was in comparison.

Our school principal told us that there were probably only a few hundred people in the whole world who had seen such amazing technology in action and so therefore probably we are among only a handful of children in the world who have been so lucky!

We are now inspired to try to become scientists ourselves one day.

We would like to thank you very much indeed for this amazing opportunity,

Yours sincerely, Saskia (Year 6 ) and Lauren (Year5)
