9780857090690 0857090690 Functional nanofibers and their applications summarises key trends in the processing and applications of these exciting materials. Part one reviews core-shell, aligned, porous and gradient nanofibers. The processing and application of composite functional nanofibers, carbon and polymer nanofiber reinforcements in polymer matrix composites, and inorganic functional nanofibers are then explored in detail, before part one concludes with a consideration of surface functionalization. A wide variety of functional nanofiber applications are then reviewed in part two. Following consideration of their use in filtration, drug delivery and tissue engineering applications, the role of functional nanofibers in lithium-ion batteries, sensor applications, protective clothing, food processing and water purification is explored. Discussion of their use in sound absorption, electromagnetic wave attenuation and biomedical and microelectronic applications follows, before a final discussion of future trends., Increasing interest in nanofibre materials, particularly functional nanofibers with special properties for technical applications, can be observed worldwide. Intensive work has been concentrated on the development of new methods for making functional nanofibers, or functionalisation of nanofibre surfaces, to achieve improved or even new properties. Part 1 will provide the reader with the key principles of functional nanofibers and a discussion of different types of functional nanofibres. Part 2 explores the exciting opportunities for various applications of functional nanofibers in a range of industries including textiles, composites, medical and food industries., Interest in nanofiber materials, particularly functional nanofibers with special properties for technical applications, is increasing worldwide. Intensive work is being concentrated on the development of new methods for making functional nanofibers. In addition, research is also being conducted on the functionalization of nanofiber surfaces to achieve new or improved properties. Part one of this book begins with the key principles and different types of functional nanofibers. Part two explores the exciting opportunities for various applications of these nanofibers in a wide range of areas, such as medicine and electronics., Nanofibers are a flexible material with a huge range of potential applications in such areas as technical textiles.
