Abstract
Electrospun polymeric nanofibers (PNFs) play a pivotal role in every facet of science, engineering, and technology. Electrospinning (ES) is the technique that endows non-woven fibers in the nanometer scales and that owns superior properties including high surface areas, mechanical strength, easy processability, mass production, and ease of functionalization. This technique has a great versatility to be altered in different ways for synergizing material properties with different morphology, in order to fulfill the requirement of desired applications. In general, the precursor materials used for producing electrospun nanofibers (NFs) are natural and synthetic polymers, ceramics, or composites. These precursors are carefully selected based on the nature and the structure of desired tissues regeneration. The application of electrospun PNFs in the biomedical field is very vital. It is a well-known fact that all the tissues and organs such as bone, tendons, cartilage, skin, and dentine of living beings comprise fibrous structures in the nanometer range. This chapter attempts to make an overview of the recent advances in electrospun polymeric composite NFs for biomedical applications.
