Modeling and simulation of the electrospinning process

Abstract

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. 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, carbon nanofibers and nanotubes, and nanofibers derived from chitosan. Provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of the manufacture, properties, and applications of nanofibers. Covers recent developments in nanofibers materials including electrospinning of bicomponent, chitosan, carbon, and conductive fibers. Brings together expertise from academia and industry to provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on nanofiber research and development. Offers systematic and comprehensive coverage for academic researchers, industry professionals, and postgraduate students working in the field of fiber science.
