Fiber Production Technologies for Biomedical Applications

Fiber Production Technologies for Biomedical Applications presents a detailed review of the latest developments in this important research field. The book begins with a brief introduction to the various types of materials currently used in nanofibers, such as polymers and proteins, and discusses their sources, properties, characterization, and applications. The second section of the book focuses on different fiber production processes. Section three looks at the structural properties of these fibrous materials and their suitability for overcoming various difficulties in biomedical applications. The book is then brought to a close looking at the commercial potential and future market needs.
