Yflow is a nanotechnology company, which uses electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) micro-fluidic techniques to generate fine and ultrafine electrified coaxial microjets of two immiscible liquids. The control of these remarkable coaxial jets allows to form nanoparticles such as capsules, hollow spheres, hollow fibers and coaxial fibers, which are crucial for a variety of industrial and research applications:  

• Food Technology
• Pharmacy
• Bioengineering
• Drug delivery
• Material science
• Catalysis
• Nanosensors

Since its foundation in 2001 by scientists from the Universities of Málaga and Seville in Spain, Yflow has developed an outstanding know-how in applications of these EHD micro-fluidic techniques to encapsulate different substances, such us catalysts, pharmaceutical products or food additives. On the other hand, our technology has also being used to generate novel nanoparticles such us filled and hollow fibers of ceramics and carbon precursors (such us lignin), or coaxial nanofibers of a variety of polymers and other types of liquid suspensions. The growing interest ignited by Yflow technology has allowed gathering an Advisory Board including the 2002 Nobel Laureate John B. Fenn, and some of the world leading scientists in EHD technology and its applications: Professor Fernández de la Mora (Yale University), Professor Higuera (Polytechnical University of Madrid) and Professor Wnek (Case Western Reserve University).
