Electrospun Nanofibers - (Textile Institute Book) 2nd Edition by Mehdi Afshari (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Electrospun Nanofibers covers advances in the electrospinning process including characterization, testing and modeling of electrospun nanofibers, and electrospinning for particular fiber types and applications. Electrospun Nanofibers offers systematic and comprehensive coverage for academic researchers, industry professionals, and postgraduate students working in the field of fiber science. This new edition will additionally cover areas related to the area of biomedical, tissue engineering and drug applications of electrospun nanofibers with eight brand new chapters. Electrospinning is the most commercially successful process for the production of nanofibers and rising demand is driving research and development in this field. Rapid progress is being made both in terms of the electrospinning process and in the production of nanofibers with superior chemical and physical properties. Electrospinning is becoming more efficient and more specialized in order to produce particular fiber types such as bicomponent and composite fibers, patterned and 3D nanofibers, piezoelectric, functional, and nanofibers derived from biodegradable polymers.
