Abstract
Nanofabrication is the future of technology and will soon be at the forefront of all manufacturing technologies by providing the design and fabrication of functional nanomaterials, which are potentially capable of responding to all major global challenges of the present and the future. Among all the one-dimensional (1D) nanofabrication techniques reported, electrospinning is the most versatile, is scalable, and is a relatively economical nanofabrication technique that produces long and continuous fibers having diameters in nanoscale. It is capable of tailoring individual fiber structures and can also regulate the morphology of the resultant fibrous mats. The technique is versatile enough to process all kinds of materials, including organic and inorganic polymers, in various forms, such as solutions, emulsions, mixtures, or melts, for generating complex nanofibrous structures, including porous, hollow, core–shell, etc. This chapter provides an overview of various 1D nanomaterial fabrication techniques and discusses in detail the development of the electrospinning technique in historical perspective and finally shares the potential applications of fabricated 1D nanofibrous materials via electrospinning.
