Description: Fundamentals and Applications of Micro- and Nanofibers A comprehensive exposition of micro and nanofiber formation processes, from physical foundations to production and applications. Alexander L. Yarin (Author), Behnam Pourdeyhimi (Author), Seeram Ramakrishna (Author) 9781107060296, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 8 May 2014 453 pages 25.2 x 18.3 x 2.3 cm, 1.04 kg 'Many new, imaginative and important technological and biomaterial applications of fibers are being built upon information presented in this comprehensive, authoritative and enabling book.' Darrell H. Reneker, University of Akron, Ohio A comprehensive exposition of micro and nanofiber forming, this text provides a unified framework of all these processes (melt and solution blowing, electrospinning, and so on) and describes their foundations, development and applications. It provides an up-to-date, in-depth physical and mathematical treatment, and discusses a wide variety of applications in different fields, including nonwovens, energy, healthcare and the military. It further highlights the challenges and outstanding issues from an interdisciplinary perspective of science and technology, incorporating both fundamentals and applications. Ideal for researchers, engineers and graduate students interested in the formation of micro and nanofibers and their use in functional smart materials. 1. Introduction 2. Polymer physics and rheology 3. General quasi-one-dimensional equations of dynamics of free liquid jets. Capillary and bending instability 4. Melt and solution blowing 5. Electrospinning of micro and nanofibers 6. Additional methods and materials used to form micro and nanofibers 7. Tensile properties of micro and nanofibers 8. Post-processing 9.
