Nanofibers and Hybrid Nanofiber Derived Nanocomposites by Kausar, Ayesha;

Long description:

Nanofibers have transpired as one of the noteworthy nanotechnological breakthroughs owing to structural and characteristics (surface properties, electrical/charge/thermal conduction, mechanical/heat stability, ecofriendliness, gas/molecular sensing, radiation/corrosion resilience, biological, and all that) distinctiveness as well as high-tech potential deployments. On the trot, nanofibers attained worthwhile scientific interest due to design versatilities constituting of carbon, inorganic, and polymer backbone nanofibers, and ultimately advanced nanocomposite nanofiber categories, like polymer/carbonaceous nanoaddtives and polymer/inorganic nanoparticles nanocomposite nanofibers. In recent epochs, tremendously growing systematic/industrial (experimental/theoretical) accounts on progressive multifunctional nanocomposite nanofibers escort indispensable advancements towards leading-edge applications in aeronautics/defense-to-electronics/energy-to-environment/biomedical pastures.

The innovative book script documents an omnipresent knowledge on almost all hitherto research attributes of nanofibers and nanocomposite nanofibers. In due course, the paperback hands out prevalent fundamental and methodological information on nanofibers and futuristic carbon nanofibers, inorganic nanofibers, and polymeric nanofibers. Afterwards, systematic deliberations on overall nanofiber fabrication strategies (spinning, blowing, freeze-drying, templating, and the like) and design/characteristics/promising aspects of advanced polymer/carbonaceous and polymer/inorganic nanoadditive nanocomposite nanofibers have been documented. Most importantly, major book sections have been devoted to technical hits of multifunctional nanocomposite nanofibers in current scientifically themed zones of aeronautical engineering, nuclear/electromagnetic radiation shielding, energy/electronics devices, environmental remediation for water and gaseous pollution, and biomedical sides, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biosensing, antimicrobials, and so forth. Above and beyond, this novice literature volume pins to theoretical/simulation prosects of nanocomposite nanofibers and crucial viewpoints on plausible future opportunities and industrial/commercial scale advancements.
