Handbook of Nanofibers
Springer International Publishing
978-3-319-53654-5 (ISBN)
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.
Dr. Ahmed Barhoum is currently a postdoc researcher at Institut Européen des Membranes, Université de Montpellier and Lecturer (tenured) of Nanotechnology at the Chemistry Department, Helwan University. He obtained his Ph.D. and postdoc-fellow in Chemical Engineering from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and he was also previously a researcher at Grenoble Institute of Technology (France, 2012), Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany, 2015), and Institut du Europeen Membrane (France, 2016), Université de Montpellier (France, 2018). His current research program as scientist is related to the synthesis of nanoparticles, nanofibers and thin films for applications in the fields of energy production, wastewater treatment, electrochemical biosensors, and drug delivery. His research program includes: (i) establishment of new methods for designing nanomaterials (electrospinning, atomic layer deposition, sol-gel hot injection, wet carbonation, photoreduction, UV-irradiation synthesis, microwave synthesis, ultrasonic irradiation synthesis), and (ii) use of specific morphologies (0D, 1D, and/or 2D) to give the final material new features and high performance. Dr. Barhoum has won several scientific grants and prizes for his academic excellence: Institut français d'Égypte postdoc (2018), Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) postdoc (2016), Research Foundation Flanders (FWO)-PhD (2015), Medastar Erasmus Mundus (2012), Welcome Erasmus Mundus (2012), Institut français d'Égypte and Campus France (2012), Gold Medal from the Egyptian Syndicate of Scientific Professions (2007), Gold Medal from Helwan University (2007), and many more. He is an expert evaluator for several funding organizations, e.g., National Science Center (Poland), Czech Science Foundation (Russia), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF, Switzerland), and a reviewer for 20+ peer reviewed journals, including American Chemical Society, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer Nature, Bentham Science, MDPI, and Scientific Research. He is an editorial board member for several peer-reviewed journals, including Research & Reviews Journal of Chemistry, Chemistry of Advanced Materials, and International Journal of Materials Science and Applications. Dr. Barhoum is also co-organizer of four conferences, editor of four handbooks published by Elsevier and Springer Nature, author and co-author of more than 70 publications, and effectively supervised 10 Ph.D. and master's students. Dr. Mikhael Bechelany (born in March 1979) obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from the University of Lyon (France) in 2006. His Ph.D. work was devoted to the synthesis and characterization of silicon and boronbased 1D nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, and nanocables). Then, he worked as a postdoc at EMPA (Switzerland). His research included the fabrication of nanomaterials (nanoparticles and nanowires), their organization, and their nanomanipulation for applications in different fields, such as photovoltaic, robotic, chemical, and biosensing. In 2010, he became a scientist at CNRS. His current research interest in the European Institute of Membranes (UMR CNRS 5635) in Montpellier (France) focuses on novel synthesis methods for metals and ceramics nanomaterials, such as atomic layer deposition (ALD), electrospinning and/or on nanostructuring using natural lithography (nanospheres and/or membranes). His research efforts include the design of nanostructured membranes for energy (gas separation, photovoltaic, biofuel cells, and osmotic energy harvesting), environmental (water treatment, (bio) sensors and packaging), and health (DNA sensing, tissue engineering, drug delivery). Dr. Bechelany is the coordinator of several international, European, national, and industrial projects (more than 30 projects). He supervised more than 20 Ph.D. students and 6 postdocs. Dr. Bechelany is the editor of several book chapters and special issues. He is also an editorial board member for several
