Science and Engineering of Electrospun Nanofibers for Advances in Clean Energy, Water Filtration, and Regenerative Medicine

Nanostructured materials with high aspect ratio and one-dimensional (ID) morphology are nature’s choices when high degree of functional performances and flexible properties are concerned. Two examples are extracellular matrices in tissues of living organism, and light harvesting rods of the reti...
