“…In the process of electrospinning, the driving force of solvent evaporation and polymer filament formation is the electric field force, and the electric field force is controlled by the voltage. It is found that any electrostatic spinning process requires a minimum starting voltage [ 71 ]. In Taylor’s experiment, it was found that when the sum of the surface tension and the gravity of the droplet at the end of the spinneret was less than the sum of the electric field force and the thrust of the syringe pump, the tip of the droplet produced a straight jet.…”

Nanomaterials for air filtration have been studied by researchers for decades. Owing to the advantages of high porosity, small pore size, and good connectivity, nanofiber membranes prepared by electrospinning technology have been considered as an outstanding air-filter candidate. To satisfy the requirements of material functionalization, electrospinning can provide a simple and efficient one-step process to fabricate the complex structures of functional nanofibers such as core–sheath structures, Janus structures, and other multilayered structures. Additionally, as a nanoparticle carrier, electrospun nanofibers can easily achieve antibacterial properties, flame-retardant properties, and the adsorption properties of volatile gases, etc. These simple and effective approaches have benefited from the significate development of electrospun nanofibers for air-filtration applications. In this review, the research progress on electrospun nanofibers as air filters in recent years is summarized. The fabrication methods, filtration performances, advantages, and disadvantages of single-polymer nanofibers, multipolymer composite nanofibers, and nanoparticle-doped hybrid nanofibers are investigated. Finally, the basic principles of air filtration are concluded upon and prospects for the application of complex-structured nanofibers in the field of air filtration are proposed.

“…However, electrospinning has low productivity, which limits large-scale production. The characteristics of the polymers may also limit this technique due to their poor mechanical properties and good barrier properties [74,82,83]. Controlled-release active packaging is a package that allows the release of the active compounds from the package to the food in a controlled way in order to extend the shelf-life of the product.…”

Active edible packaging is a food packaging made of comestible bioproducts and active compounds that interacts with the food. The bioproducts, usually biopolymers, must be recognized as safe and with characteristics to be consumed by humans—comestible—and not toxic and capable of carrying an active compound, like anti-browning agents, colorants, flavors, nutrients, antimicrobial and/or antioxidant compounds, in order to extend the product shelf-life, reduce contamination and maintain or even enhance the nutritional value.

“…Electrospinning is a highly versatile technique for generating NFs from polymeric solutions that are used in a wide range of applications (Wen et al 2020). It was in the 90 s that this technique became popular due to the growing interest in nanotechnology and the search for new materials, a fact evidenced by the significant increase in the number of publications on the subject (Xie et al 2020).…”

Cellulose-based electrospun nanofibers: a review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cellulosic materials have gained a lot of attention in the last decades because of their abundancy, renewability and excellent physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, research on nanofibers has also been increasing with the aim of producing or modifying materials that can have a wide range of applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, protective clothing and wound dressing. In order to produce these fibers, electrospinning is shown to be a promising and extensively used technique. Electrospun cellulosic fibers maintain the optimal characteristics of cellulose while improving its surface area to volume ratio and mechanical properties, in addition to the possibility of surface tailoring of bulk materials. However, there are several limitations related to the utilization of cellulose and most of its derivatives with the electrospinning technique. Poor solubility in most common solvents and inability to melt are major drawbacks. Thus, this review describes mostly recent research in which cellulose and its derivatives have been the feedstock for fabrication of nanofibers by electrospinning, exploring processing details and potential applications.
