Sommario/riassunto

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.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the technological advances and social interactions between interactive spaces, surfaces and devices, aiming to provide new insights into emerging social protocols that arise from the experimentation and long-term usage of interactive surfaces. This edited volume brings together researchers from around the world who investigate interactive surfaces and interaction techniques within large displays, wearable devices, software development, security and emergency management. Providing both theory and practical case studies, the authors look at current developments and challenges into 3D visualization, large surfaces, the interplay of mobile phone devices and large displays, wearable systems and head mounted displays (HMD’S), remote proxemics and interactive wall displays and how these can be employed throughout the home and work spaces. Collaboration Meets Interactive Spaces is both for researchers and industry practitioners, providing readers with a coherent narrative into the current state-of-the-art within interactive surfaces and pervasive display technology, providing necessary tools and techniques as interactive media increasingly permeates everyday contexts.
