Polymers Used in Preparation of Nanofibers

Polymer based nanofibers as an important group of materials have attracted considerable attention of research and industrial areas. Polymer nanofibers with diameters in submicrometer 1 µm possess unique properties including large specific surface area per unit mass, which facilitated adding functionalities to surface for specific application. Typically, polymer nanofibers have been synthesized by electrospinning, spinneret based tunable engineered parameters STEP or drawing techniques, template synthesis, phase separation inversion, self assembly, solution blowing air jet spinning , forcespinning centrifugal spinning , and interfacial polymerization of nanofibers. The most common method is electrospinning due to its feasibility, cost effectiveness, ability to fabricate continuous fibers from various polymers, and mass production. Polymer nanofibers are fabricated from both natural and synthetic polymers. Tanmayi D. Kalamkar | Vikram Veer | Dipti S.
