Lin and Fang introduce electrospinning, previously known as electrostatic spinning, and electrospun nanofibers in a textbook for a graduate or undergraduate material science or other material-related course. Scientists have discovered many unique properties of electrospun nanofibers, they say, making electrospinning distinctive from other methods of making nanofibers. They cover electrospun fibers: morphologies and unique properties, the improvement of fiber quality, advanced needle electrospinning, needleness electrospinning, control of nanofiber deposition, nanofiber yarns, application of electrospun nanofibers, and inorganic nanofibers.

Fundamentals of Electrospinning & Electrospun Nanofibers reviews and analyzes the methods whereby nanofibers are spun, collected and fabricated into various fibrous structures. The text explains the workings, quantitative specifications and set-up of virtually all formation technologies, including solvent and solvent-free, as well as needle and needleless spinning methods for nanofibers made from polymers, carbon and other materials. Practical information is provided for understanding and designing devices to fabricate nanofibers with many different shapes and internal structures. Special attention is given to strategies for overcoming defects in nanofibers and controlling their overall quality.
