Electrospinning, processing and characterization of polymer-based nano-composite fibers

Key words electrospinning, magnetic nanoparticle, carbon nanotube, [Pg.128]

Electrospun mats have a larger specific surface area and smaller pore size compared to commercial nonwoven fabrics. They are of interest in a wide variety of applications, including semi-permeable membranes, nanocomposites, filters, protective clothing and biomedical applications such as wound dressings, tissue engineering scaffolds, and drug delivery systems. Recently, unidirectional-like nanofiber mats fabricated by control collector speed were reported and a high mechanical property was obtained. [Pg.129]
