Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers

Discussing the electrospinning process, the book covers in great depth the current research interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology, especially electrospinning of polymer nanofibers. The main distinction of the proposed book from others devoted to the electrospinning process is in the consideration of the problem in question from the physical point of view.

Focusing on physical aspects, the book contains physical basics regarding the unique features of electrospun polymer nanofibers and the electrospinning resulting in fabrication of these nanofibers. The book includes contributions from the Nano Engineering Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology (where the author is working), as well as contributions from other research groups of many universities, and many different physical problems related to electrospinning, which are necessary for understanding the unique features of electrospun polymer nanofibers, are discussed. Such an approach allows one to demonstrate both the progress in the discussed field and the way for further possible studies.

The proposed book is suitable as a graduate- and postgraduate-level textbook and for training courses on electrospinning of polymer nanofibers, as well as for researchers in the field of polymer nanofiber fabrication and its applications.
