Nanofibers modeling, concept

This book covers the general aspects of electrospinning and discusses the fundamental concepts that can be used to produce nanofibers with the help of mathematical models and equations. It also details the methods through which different polymeric structures can be included in conjugated polymers during electrospinning to form composites or blends of conjugated polymer nanofibers. 

Some aspects of polymer nanofibers used as chemical sensors are presented in Section 4.3.2 and a related mathematical model is summarized in Equation (4.23) for the temporal variation of the measured conductivity following exposure to a molecular agent diffusing into the fiber. These concepts are general and also applicable to the case of biological sensors.
