Polymeric Nanofibers and Their Composites

Klappentext

Recently, the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanofibers and their composites have gained substantial attention from the research community mainly due to their salient physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Polymeric Nanofibers and their Composites: Recent Advances and Applications covers the fundamentals, synthesis, characterization, properties and applications of natural and synthetic nanofibers and their related composites. The book covers industrial, biological, and environmental applications, including biomedical, wastewater treatment, energy storage, gas adsorption, supercapacitor, electrocatalysis, electronics, sensors, batteries, fuel Cells, solar cells, water splitting, catalysis, separation, and purification. With an international author-base this work provides a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and engineers, and all those working in nanofibers fabrication, nanomaterials design, and in polymers, composites, and their related industrial applications.
