Abstract

Electrospun nanofibers in recent times have found numerous applications in various fields of everyday life. These nanofibers can be synthesized in a number of ways like self-assembly, phase preparation etc. but here we will be focusing on nanofibers synthesized using electrospinning technique. In this review, we look at the electrospinning setup in some detail beginning right from the history of electrospinning machine. We discuss the working principal and the factors which affect the electrospun fibers synthesized suing this technique. Finally, we present some state of the art applications of electrospun nanofibers like in bone-tissue engineering, environmental pollution, skin grafting and biomedical scaffolds.
