It describes several kinds of nanostructured fibers such as metal oxides, natural polymers, synthetic polymers and hybrids inorganic-polymers or carbon-based materials. The first part of the Handbook covers the fundamental aspects, experimental setup, synthesis, properties and physico-chemical characterization of nanofibers. Specifically, this part details the history of nanofibers, different techniques to design nanofibers, self-assembly in nanofibers, critical parameters of synthesis, fiber alignment, modeling and simulation, types and classifications of nanofibers, and signature physical and chemical properties (i.e. mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic), toxicity and regulations, bulk and surface functionalization and other treatments to allow them to a practical use. Characterization methods are also deeply discussed here. The second part of the Handbook deals with global markets and technologies and emerging applications of nanofibers, such as in energy production and storage, aerospace, automotive, sensors, smart textile design, energy conversion, tissue engineering, medical implants, pharmacy and cosmetics. Attention is given to the future of research in these areas in order to improve and spread the applications of nanofibers and their commercialization. 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aNanoscale science 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aNanochemistry 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aNanotechnology and Microengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000 606 $aNanoscale Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140 606 $aNanochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C33000 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aNanoscale science. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aNanochemistry. 615 14$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aNanotechnology and Microengineering. 615 24$aNanoscale Science and Technology. 615 24$aNanochemistry. 676 $a620.115 702 $aBarhoum$b Ahmed$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBechelany$b Mikhael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMakhlouf$b Abdel Salam Hamdy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349514203321 996 $aHandbook of Nanofibers$91571077 997 $aUNINA
