“…The increase in the number of patents for diverse applications gives an insight into the recognition of Advances in Materials Science and Engineering 3 the electrospinning process. A few companies, such as Espin Technologies, Nano Technics, and KATO Tech, are constantly benefited by the utmost features of nanofibers derived by electrospinning, while companies such as Donaldson Company and Freudenberg have already applied the electrospinning process in their air filtration products [25,26].…”

Electrospun polymer nanofibers with high surface area to volume ratio and tunable characteristic are formed through the application of strong electrostatic field. Electrospinning has been identified as a straight forward and viable technique to produce nanofibers from polymer solution as their initial precursor. These nanofiber materials have attracted attention of researchers due to their enhanced and exceptional nanostructural characteristics. Electrospun polyaniline (PANI) based nanofiber is one of the important new materials for the rapidly growing technology development such as nanofiber based sensor devices, conductive tissue engineering scaffold materials, supercapacitors, and flexible solar cells applications. PANI however is relatively hard to process compared to that of other conventional polymers and plastics. The processing of PANI is daunting, mainly due to its rigid backbone which is related to its high level of conjugation. The challenges faced in the electrospinning processing of neat PANI have alternatively led to the development of the electrospun PANI based composites and blends. A review on the research activities of the electrospinning processing of the PANI based nanofibers, the potential prospect in various fields, and their future direction are presented.

Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that most affect the world population, and it is estimated that in a few years it will progressively increase. It can appear at any stage of life, being Type I most common in childhood and Type II in adulthood, but both are related to hyperglycemia. Studies show that physical inactivity, obesity, and poor eating habits can influence the onset and/or worsening of Type II diabetes. Among the complications that diabetics may develop are amputations, these are caused due to the neuropathy that the diabetic develops and ends up losing sensitivity when injured. Consequently, the wounds often become infected ulcers and the tissue dies, leading the patient to undergo surgical procedures for tissue removal. To try to prevent wounds from becoming ulcers and/or to reduce the percentage of amputations, researchers have been using the electro‐spinning technique to form nanofibers. The fibers when electrospun have nanofiber morphology and one of the characteristics of these is the volume/area ratio in which positively increases the properties of the fibers. These are being widely used in tissue engineering as they have been shown to be effective in tissue regeneration. In addition, they prove to be promising in the biomedical area for modified drug release. Polymers such as poly (ε‐caprolactone), poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid), gum tragacanth, among others, are gaining ground in the scientific field to produce nanofibers incorporating some antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti‐inflammatory agent. For treating diabetic wounds, preventing amputation processes and an improvement in the quality of life. The aim of this paper is to review the use of the electrospinning technique to aid the healing of diabetic wounds in the scientific literature.
