Abstract
This chapter outlines the evolution of electrostatic production and fabrication of nanofibers via melt electrospinning. Over the last decade, melt electrospinning has received much attention and undergone a revolution in nanofibers drawn from polymers. Melt electrospinning has considerably more interest due to its solvent-free nature and environmentally friendly process than the conventional solution electrospinning technique. Fabrication of ultrafine nanofibers from various materials such as polymers, composites, and ceramics opens the gate to widespread applications in biomedicine, filtration, textiles, etc. This chapter explains some important historical events in melt electrospinning followed by the working principle of electrospinning and advantages of melt electrospinning over solution electrospinning are discussed.
