Applications of Polymer Nanofibers

Polymer-based nanofibers as an important group of materials have attracted considerable attention in research and industrial areas. Polymer nanofibers with diameters in submicrometer (<1 μm) possess unique properties including large specific surface area per unit mass, which facilitated adding functionalities to the surface for specific applications. This book intends to highlight the latest achievements in fabricating electrospun nanofibers and describe various ways to modify the surface and structure of scaffolds to promote their functionality. This book also summarizes the application of advanced polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds in the regeneration of human bone, cartilage, vascular tissues, and tendons/ligaments.
