Electrospun Polymers and Composites

Electrospun polymers and composite fibres have drawn much attention from materials scientists and engineers over recent years mainly due to their wide range of application potential as fibre reinforcements, in tissue scaffolding, water filtration, drug delivery, nanosensors, energy conversion/storage as well as protective clothing. Electrospun Polymers and Composites reviews the latest technological developments and innovations in electrospun polymers and composites highlighting the multifunctionality of these ultrafine materials as high performance fibres. The chapters investigate a wide range of different electrospinning applications including but not limited to drug delivery, tissue scaffolding, fibre reinforcement, and nanofiltration with a particular new focus on shape memory effect and wearable characteristics of electrospun polymers and composites to offer new perspectives towards the future direction of electrospun fibres. It will be a valuable reference resource for research and for industrial communities working in the field of electrospinning.
