Nanomaterials are the study of how materials behave when their dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale. It can also refer to the materials themselves that are used in nanotechnology. Materials reduced to the nanoscale can suddenly show very different properties compared to what they exhibit on a macroscale, enabling unique applications. The book offers scopes that have potential for applications in several disciplines of nano materials. Each chapter ranges from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material and/or structural behaviour of new and adv

In the first two volumes of this series, we have shown that submicron-sized and nanofibres can be prepared from a polymer solution by means of electrospinning. The third volume of 'Advances in Nanofibre Research' describes the many directions in which the science and technology of polymer nanofibres is now evolving and highlights the current understanding of polymer nanofibres and nanocomposites. In this volume, readers can find chapters which compare the occurrence, stability, and functional properties of fibrous nanomaterials of different sizes and shapes. The new and emerging applications o

Due to their one-dimensional structures and novel physical properties, nanofibrous materials have been extensively investigated and hold promising applications in various fields, including electronic, optical, semiconductors, sensors, polymer fillers and nonwoven porous membranes. This book presents current research in the study of the synthesis, properties and application of nanofibers. Topics include the functionalization and activation of carbon nanofibers; fabrication of aligned polymer and metal oxide nanofibers by electrospinning; inorganic nanofibers for novel separation membranes; the

Fabrication of sub-THz slow wave structures usually requires expensive high precision equipment. A low cost fabri- cation method for the double corrugated waveguide at sub-THz frequencies is proposed. The use of the precision cutting machine permits to quickly produce square pillars with dimensions in the range of hundreds of microns or smaller with good precision. A double corrugated waveguide has been simulated at G-band (275 - 305 GHz) with the geometry modification to keep into account the cutting profile produced by the cutting wheel. A first sample of pillars with cross section 70 x 70 microns by using the precision cutting has been demonstrated. The preliminary results are promising making the process a possible alternative to CNC milling or UV-LIGA.

NTNE2005 is the largest nanotechnology event that has ever been organized in Northern Europe. The congress attracted over 360 participants from 18 different countries and 36 companies in the exhibition. The main objective of the congress was to offer scientists and companies a joint forum to meet and share ideas on latest research and application development. The congress was focused around three key themes that offer substantial commercial possibilities for nanotechnology innovations in the future.

This book is a summary of the latest knowledge in the field of electrospinning technology, including a detailed description of the method as well as the influence of its parameters on the structure and properties of manufactured materials. Currently, electrospinning is one of the most promising methods for the reproducible production of one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, nanofibers, and fibrous mats, with high purity and dimensional accuracy. Chapters address such topics as electrospun fibrous mats in the development of active food packaging, production of structured nanofibers from natural sources, and biomass waste as an alternative source of polymeric materials in electrospinning technology, and more.
