Both conventional and nanofibers are described in this uniquely comprehensive book, for a wide range of applications including biomedical, automotive, aerospace, agriculture, energy, and environmental.
This book refers to recent advances made in both academia and industry, in topics such as fiber-reinforced composites, fibrous thermal insulators, drug delivery and tissue engineering, and smart textiles and energy, and explains how fibrous structures are engineered to offer new solutions to important problems. The first two chapters provide basic introductory information to allow a wider range of readers to engage with the book.
- Addresses hot emerging topics including smart materials, wearable energy harvesters, and solar fuel production
- Includes valuable technical advice that is useful to industries including aerospace, biomedical, and energy
- Covers the full lifecycle of the material, from processing and treatment through to end usage
Researchers, engineers, R&D professionals, and students interested in polymeric fibrous structures
