Electrospun Nanofibers

by Mehdi Afshari (Editor)

Overview

Electrospun Nanofibers, Second Edition covers advances in the electrospinning process, including the characterization, testing, and modeling of electrospun nanofibers and electrospinning for particular fiber types and applications. This new edition includes sections on biomedical, tissue engineering, and drug applications of electrospun nanofibers, offering systematic and comprehensive coverage for academic researchers, industry professionals, and postgraduate students working in the field of fiber science. Electrospinning is the most commercially successful process for the production of nanofibers and rising demand is driving research and development in this field.

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, carbon nanofibers and nanotubes, and nanofibers derived from chitosan.
