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 and conversions, gas adsorption, supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, electronics,
sensors, batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, water splitting, catalysis, separation, and purification.
With an international author base, this book can be considered a valuable reference
resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and engineers, and
all those working in the fabrication of nanofibers, design of nanomaterials, and polymers,
composites, and their related industrial applications.
