Processing Biopolymer Nanofibers and Composites
In this presentation, an introduction to biopolymer electrospinning process, as well as an overview of applications of nanofibrous biopolymer mats and their composites created by both a traditional and modified electrospinning process will be discussed. Electrospinning is a fabrication technique, which can be used to create nanofibrous non-wovens from a variety of starting polymer materials. The structure, chemical and mechanical stability, functionality, and other properties of the mats can be modified to match end applications
