“…It also corresponds similarly to the electrospinning process as there is a stretching induced by an external force prior to the deposition [28]. Solution blowing, however, is a system for spinning submicron and nanofibres from polymer solutions where high-velocity gas flow is used as a fibre-forming driving force [29]. In SBS, a polymer is dissolved into an appropriate solvent to reduce its viscosity [24].…”

“…The needle size can be changed accordingly. Usually, 0.2-0.7 mm is the inner diameter of the orifice [29]. SBS uses pressurized gas to create submicron and nanofibre from polymer solution.…”

“…An increase in polymer concentration increases the difficulties in nanofibre production. In addition, the polymer-solvent system is also very critical since the viscosity of the solution and the surface tension have a direct effect on the SBS system [15,29,34,[38][39][40].…”

“…The air pressure working range is reported to be between 30 and 90 psi [42]. Providing extra gas pressure produces smaller and thinner fibres, which is due to the greater level of fibre stretching as well as the shearing force [29].…”

“…The distance required for the fibres to dry before collection is called minimum working distance and the distance that avoids the excessive loss of the jettisoned fibres is considered as maximum working distance [42]. A higher stretching of fibre and a better dissipation of the solvent is obtained at a higher working distance [29]. The temperature ameliorates the drying and spinnability of the SBS nanofibres when a spinning line is arranged with a heating environment.…”

Submicron/nanofibres possess great potential for application in different areas because of their amazingly high surface area-to-weight ratio. The demand for fabrication of such fibres on a huge scale is increasing with the fast improvement of nanotechnology. Traditionally, nanofibre fabrication methods have intrinsic faults, limiting their application in industry. Solution blow spinning (SBS) is a viable option for producing adaptable and conformable submicron/nanofibre mats on a variety of surfaces. The technique can be employed to produce submicron/ nanofibres with only a simple commercial airbrush, a concentrated polymer solution, and a compressed gas source. It depends on the high velocity of decompressed air that allows the rapid stretching and evaporation of the solvent from a polymeric solution jet at the outlet of the concentric nozzles system. Along with recent advancements, the importance and drawbacks of the solution blow spinning system in comparison to other methods, such as electrospinning and melt blowing, are briefly discussed. Furthermore, the mechanisms of co-axial SBS spinning and micro SBS spinning system for submicron/nanofibre fabrication are also described. Drawbacks and research challenges of SBS are also addressed in this paper.

Nanofiber production techniques have become increasingly important due to their wide range of applications. However, the complex design of the setup and difficulty in scaling up to high production rate have limited the industrial applicability of some of the conventional fiber generation techniques such as electrospinning. Herein, the touch spinning method is scaled up for nanofiber production using a simple rotating drawing setup with polymers that are relevant for biomedical applications such as polyethylene oxide and gelatin. The process is amenable to use of benign solvent such as water and production of a wide variety of submicron‐scale gelatin‐based nanofibers at a high throughput (≈2.45 g hr−1 with the single channel flow), which is an order of magnitude higher than those produced by other fiber generation methods is shown. The parametric study indicates that the fiber production process can be tuned at a desired rate without sacrificing the fiber quality by simply altering the number of drawing rods, the size of the rotating disk, and the number of solution flow supply channels. The utility of this technique for different biomedical applications such as cell culture and air filtration applications is also demonstrated.

Smart wound dressings capable of detecting, monitoring, and regulating complicated dynamic healing processes hold tremendous potential in wound healing and tissue reconstruction. Micro/nanofiber‐based materials are regarded as one of the most promising candidates to develop smart wound dressings owing to their remarkable features including architectural mimicry of extracellular matrix, tunability in structural assembly, and diversity in functionality. Herein, the latest progress of smart micro/nanoscale fiber‐based materials in terms of composition engineering, structural design, and applications in wound management is comprehensively reviewed. This work begins with the advances in smart fibers including stimuli‐responsive fibers, shape memory fibers, and conductive fibers. Then, the structural design of fiber‐based materials from conventional 2D fibrous membrane to emerging 3D fibrous sponge/hydrogel is thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, the applications of smart micro/nanofibrous materials as wound dressings in stimuli‐responsive drug delivery, biomechanical stimulation, electrical stimulation, and wound monitoring are highlighted. Finally, the article offers perspectives on the existing challenges and future directions of smart fibrous materials for wound management.
