Hinestroza, Juan
Assistant ProfessorJuan P. Hinestroza is Assistant Professor in the department of Fiber Science and Apparel Design in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University. Dr. Hinestroza obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Tulane University in May 2002. His doctoral research work was focused on the effect of mechanical deformation on the barrier properties of polymeric materials and was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy. Prior to graduate school, Dr. Hinestroza was a process control engineer for The Dow Chemical Company.

Hinestroza Research Group
TEXTILES NANOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY AT CORNELL
UNIVERSITY
Our research group is focused on understanding complex phenomena at the nanoscale that are of fundamental relevance to fiber and polymer science.
Our work on textiles nanotechnology can be categorized into three main thrusts:
1. Modification of existing textile materials using electrostatic self-assembly and atomic layer deposition techniques to create novel and customizable surfaces on conventional textile substrates with emphasis on natural fibers. Our group has deposited polyelectrolytes, inorganic and metallic nanolayers over textile fibers with nanoscale precision opening a new avenue for the development of smart textiles.
2. Creation of novel nanofibers using directed and external fields to control self-assembly phenomena at the nanoscale. We use alternating magnetic fields to achieve precise position control of embedded nanoparticles inside polymeric fibers creating novel nanocomposite materials. In collaboration with our partners at UPRM, our group has developed novel nanofibers having unique magnetic signatures with potential anticounterfeiting and positive identification applications.
3. Development of metrology tools based on scanning probe microscopy customized to assess nanoscale phenomena on low energy surfaces with high radius of curvature such as those of textile fibers. Our group is pioneering the use of electric force microscopy as a probing tool to quantitatively determine the effect of electrical charge degradation on the filtration performance of electret filter media. We also use a novel Atomic Force Acoustic Microscopy AFAM to probe the mechanical properties of nanofibers.
