Electrospun Porous Nanofibers

This book introduces readers to electrospinning, a nanofabrication technique used to produce nanofibers, and discusses the properties and applications of these nanofibers. The book begins with an overview of the electrospinning process and strategies for producing nanofibers with different morphologies. The advantages and limitations of the nanofiber technology, and future outlook are addressed next. Then, recent and novel applications of electrospun nanofibers in different areas, including biomedical, environmental, textile, and energy are discussed, followed by a more detailed review of the fabrication and properties of electrospun nanofiber membranes and composites. In addition, this book: - Serves as an introduction to electrospinning of nanofibers, focusing on techniques, properties, and applications. - Offers a concise yet clear overview of the basics of electrospinning, that is suitable for those entering the field. - Highlights innovative applications and emerging trends in the field of electrospun nanofibers.
