Advances in Nanostructured Materials and Nanopatterning Technologies: Applications for Healthcare, Environment and Energy demonstrates how to apply micro- and nanofabrication and bioextrusion based systems for cell printing, electrophoretic deposition, antimicrobial applications, and nanoparticles technologies for use in a range of green industry sectors, with an emphasis on emerging applications.

The progress of research on polymer nanofibers has become especially relevant and rapid in the past couple of years. Polymer nanofibers is a hot topic, crossing many fields of nanotechnology and attracting an extremely broad audience from scientists working in different fields such as either the fabrication or the use of polymer nanofibers. This book gives a comprehensive presentation of polymer nanofibers, including both the relevant physical aspects of nanofiber formation and of their structural, superficial, optical, electrical and biological properties, and the main technological issues of methods for fabricating nanofibers, with a special focus on electrospinning. The exceptional coverage of applications in different forms, the use of interdisciplinary technical language as well as the ofrom materials to applicationso chapter approach, which is ideal for post-graduate students, means various interest groups including physicists, biologists, biotechnologists and engineers will find it to be an extremely valuable resource.
