The research and development of nanofibers has gained much prominence in recent years due to the heightened awareness of its potential applications in the medical, engineering and defense fields. Among the most successful methods for producing nanofibers is the electrospinning process. Electrospinning introduces a new level of versatility and broader range of materials into the micro/nanofiber range. This important book reviews its impact in developing a new generation of textile fibers with enhanced functionality and a wide range of applications. The book reviews nanofiber production, discussing how different fiber types can be produced using electrospinning techniques to improve polymer properties and to modify textile surfaces.
