Abstract
One of the emerging technologies of the recent times facilitating nanotechnology to fabricate nanofibers for various biomedical and environmental applications are electrospinning (nanofiber technology). Their relatively ease in use, simplicity, functionality and diversity has surpassed the pitfalls faced with the conventional method of generating fibers. This review aims to provide an overview of electrospinning, principle, methods, feed materials and applications. To begin with, the evolution of electrospinning and its typical apparatus have been briefed. Simultaneously, discussion on the production of nanofibers with diversified feed materials such as polymers, small molecules, colloids and nanoparticles and its trans formation into a powerful technology has been dealt with. Further, highlights on the application of nanofibers integrated with polymers/metal oxides/metals in tissue engineering and the commercialized products developed using nanofiber technology have been briefed up. With this rapidly emerging technology, there would be a great demand pertaining to scalability and environmental challenge needs much consideration.
