Polymer nanofibers electrospinning: A review

Abstract

E LECTROSPUN nanofibers have found many applications as useful material with reasonable properties and morphology. The electrospinning technique is better than other conventional nanofiber fabrication techniques owing to the ease of formation and controlling fiber orientation. Electrospun nanofiber has unique properties such as a high surface area to volume ratio, easily in surface functionality, interfibrous pore sizes, and the ability to change the nanofiber composition to get specific functions and properties. The current review highlights the electrospinning principles, types of electrospinning, and the parameters that affect the nanofibers fabrication. Finally, we provided some nanofiber applications area such as biomedical, protective clothing, sensors, electrical, and filtration.

“…Thereafter, these electrospinning conditions allowed the formation of a Taylor cone that is essential for the formation of nanofibers. 58 …”

“…sativum extract NFs have been produced with spinning conditions of voltage 27 kV, distance 15 cm, and feeding rate 0.1 mL/h, while PVA/polysaccharide NFs have been formed at voltage 30 kV, distance 15 cm, and feeding rate 0.2 mL/h. Thereafter, these electrospinning conditions allowed the formation of a Taylor cone that is essential for the formation of nanofibers …”

Novel oxygen-generation from electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds with anticancer properties: synthesis of PMMA-conjugate PVP–H2O2 nanofibers, characterization, and in vitro bio-evaluation tests

“…Previous studies have discussed the morphology of nanofibers by optimizing the parameters of the electrospinning process to improve the producible nanofibers without any droplets. 40 Herein, different ratios of PMMA (6, 10, and 12%) were employed using various flow-rates, which were affected by the applied voltage and collected on different distances from the spinneret, as described in Table 1 . The PHP complex was also added with different ratios (0, 5, 10, and 15%) to optimize the PMMA ratio.…”

Cyclodextrins in Polymer-Based Active Food Packaging: A Fresh Look at Nontoxic, Biodegradable, and Sustainable Technology Trends

“…Electrospinning is one of the most appealing technologies for the incorporation of CDs within micro-/nanofibers and mats. This low-cost technique allows the transformation of a given viscoelastic fluid into fibrous membranes under the influence of an electric field and was observed for the first time more than a century ago [ 116 , 117 ]. The final performance of these fibrous materials is influenced by the physicochemical properties of the precursor solution, the experimental variables used during the electrospinning, and the environmental conditions.…”
