Yarns are key building blocks to construct complicated fibrous structures for diverse applications. Nanofibre yarns are expected to uncover new opportunities for development of well-defined three-dimensional nano fibrous architectures with new or enhanced functions and better mechanical performances. This book covers the recent research development in nanofibre yarns and the mechanical properties of a nanofibre yarn that is prepared by a simple twist technique. The production of short nanofibres and short nanofibre-carbon nanotube composites are also introduced in the book.

Yaqiong Zhou graduated with First Class Honours in Textile Engineering from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (China) in 2006, who was also the winner of the Excellent Graduate Thesis Prize. She worked in the area of electrospun nanofibre yarns and composites during her PhD in Deakin University from 2007 to 2011.
