Nanofibers: Fabrication, Performance, and Applications

ISBN: 9781616682880 出版年：2009 页码：465 W N Chang Nova Science

Nanofibers are defined as fibers with diameters on the order of 100 nanometers. They can be produced by interfacial polymerization and electrospinning. Contrastly, carbon nanofibers are graphitized fibers produced by catalystic synthesis. Nanofibers are included in garments, insulation and in energy storage. They are also used in medical applications, which include drug and gene delivery, artificial blood vessels, artificial organs and medical facemasks. This book presents new research in this dynamic field.
