Abstract

The history of the electrospinning technique started a couple of centuries ago. The technique has evolved continuously and found more and more applications. As science has progressed, the physical phenomena involved in the formation of fibres have been more and more precisely defined, thus creating equipment to meet different needs. Nowadays, not only microfibres but also nanofibres can be created while using this method, making it possible to create materials suitable also for biomedical applications. The growing interest is reflected in the increasing number of publications too. This brief review concerns the main milestones of the history of electrical fibre drawing and the various fibre formation methods used today.
