Summary:

Electrospinning was developed from electrostatic spraying and now represents an attractive approach for polymer biomaterials processing, with the opportunity for control over morphology, porosity and composition using simple equipment. Since electrospinning is one of the few techniques to prepare long fibres of nano- to micrometre diameter, great progress has been made in recent years. This book presents and discusses research in the study of electrospinning and nanofibers.
