his is a comprehensive book on the technology of polymer and glass fibers, with an emphasis on the physical approach, intended for all levels of scientists, engineers, and students. The authors state in the preface that one intention of writing this book is to summarize their own results of research in this area. They write the book as a source book, comparable in scope and intention to the classic book in fiber science by A. Ziabicki, Fundamentals of Fibre Formation (Wiley, 1976). The authors did a wonderful job and produced a handy summary of the present status of micro- and nanofibers. Chapter 1 briefly mentions major methods and underlying physics. However, major technologies for microand nanofibers, melt- and solution blowing, and electrospinning appeared in Ziabicki’s book. In this regard, the present book is a logical extension of fiber science and engineering.
Chapters 2 and 3 provide backgrounds of the methodologies developed by the present authors for micro- and nanofibers. Chapters 4–6 occupy 65% of the book in terms of length, and cover blowing and electrospinning in great detail. The remainder of the book (chapters 7–11) is concerned mainly with applications, and covers such interesting topics as tensile properties, post-processing, nanofluid, military uses, novel roles in drug delivery, health supplements, and cosmetic facial masks. Apparently, however, major applications are yet to appear for micro- and nanofibers in order to play prominent roles in industry. There is an absence of chemical formulae of polymers used for micro- and nanofibers throughout this book. Synthetic fibers are regarded as an application of polymer chemistry, and physical behaviors of synthetic fibers are interpreted in terms of chemical formulae of polymers, degrees

summarizes the most common defects in materials such as point, linear, and three-dimensional defects in materials. Chapter 4 introduces the rearrangement of atoms by using thermodynamics and kinetics principles, and covers how these principles affect heat and mass transfer properties. Chapter 5 thoroughly explains the classic phase-diagram theory in the most understandable way. Specifically, the phase diagrams for liquid polymers are introduced, which is really unique. Chapter 6 briefly introduces the mechanical behavior of materials, and chapter 7 follows up to introduce how to improve the mechanical properties. Chapter 8 very specifically introduces common engineering materials and their applications. The introduction of classifications
