Electrospinning and Electrospun Fibers: Advanced Nanostructures for Biomedical and Industrial Applications

Abstract

Electrospinning is a versatile and widely used technique for the fabrication of ultrafine fibers with diameters ranging from nanometers to micrometers. Electrospun fibers exhibit unique properties such as high surface area-to-volume ratio, tunable porosity, and structural similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM), making them highly suitable for biomedical applications. This article provides an overview of the electrospinning process, factors influencing fiber formation, and the properties of electrospun fibers. It also highlights their applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, filtration, and energy storage. Challenges and future directions in the field are also discussed, emphasizing the potential of electrospinning technology in advancing material science and healthcare.
