Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanofibers with diameters less than 100 nm provide a high surface-to-volume ratio. Nanofibers have been used in many applications including medicine (3D tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound dressing, extracellular matrix etc.), cosmetics, filters, sensors, protective clothing, pharmaceuticals, energy storage and battery applications. High strength nanofibers may also be used as reinforcing agent in composite materials for structural application. Number of techniques have been developed to prepare nanofibers that include, melt-blowing, physical drawing, flash-spinning, phase separation, self-assembling, solvent dispersion, force spinning, centrifugal spinning, hydrothermal, electrospinning as well as nanofibrillation of plant fibers. Of these, electrospinning has been the most widely studied technique and also seems to exhibit the most promising results for biomedical application. The Special Issue of Fibers will include all aspects of nanofibers and also focus on their fabrication, surface modification, morphological characterization and applications.
