BMEE 6361 Composite Nanofibers
This course provides an overview, at the graduate level, of the broad area of composite nanofiber materials by emphasizing the relationships between the structure, processing, properties, and performance of nanofibers and their applications in nanotechnology. Major topics will include characterization techniques and, processing methods of composite nanofibers including electrospinning, centrifugal spinning, template synthesis, and melt and solution blowing. The remainder of the course will cover the application of composite fibers in biomedical application, wound dressing, tissue engineering, filtration, anti-bacterial, and energy storage application. Special emphasis will be given to the use of ceramic/metal/polymer composite nanofibers including carbon nanotubes/polymer, graphene polymer, ceramic/carbon composite fibers, and other systems for biomedical applications.
