Prof. Xiaohong Qin is currently a professor and vice dean of the College of Textiles at Donghua University in China. She received her Ph. D. from Donghua University in 2002, did her post-doctorate at Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2003 before joining Donghua University later on in 2003. Her investigative work mainly involves in nanofiber electrospinning theory and methods to solve its uncontrollable process, low yield and ordered aggregation problems that challenge scientists globally. She has been the principal investigator for over 40 multi-year grants, including six from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. She has received the first-place award in the Science and Technology Progress competition in 2014 and 201 from China National Textile and Apparel Council. She was selected as the Chang Jiang Scholars Program in 2015. Moreover, she has co-edited three books, published over 200 peer-reviewer articles in international journals. She also holds 59 issued patents, 21 of which have been successfully turned into the factory productions.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Unique resource highlighting new methods and emerging applications of electrospinning, such as manufacturing of nanofiber yarn, solar steam generation, thermoelectric generators, water-induced electric generators, actuators, and biomedical applications.

Electrospinning introduces the basic principles and state-of-the-art methods of electrospinning in depth and continues on to highlight the most relevant and recent applications associated with the remarkable features of nanofibers.

Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Electrospinning includes information on:

• History and development of the electrospinning theories and the state-of-the-art methods for fiber structure regulation, mass production of electrospun fibers, and manufacturing of electrospun fiber yarns
• Electrospinning nanofiber-based evaporators for interfacial solar-driven steam generation and preparation and application of electrospun nanofibers in heat insulation
• Research progress on sound absorption of electrospun fibrous materials and electrospun nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator
• Preparation and application of thermoelectric materials and devices based on electrospun fibers and electrospun nanofiber-based water-induced electric-generation

Providing a comprehensive overview of electrospinning, including the principle, methods, and latest applications, Electrospinning is an essential resource for materials scientists, polymer chemists, chemists in industry, electrochemists, catalytic chemists, and electronics engineers.
