Recent Nanofiber Technologies

This article is a perspective that includes a brief introduction to nanofiber production methods, their potential applications, and three review articles in the field of nanofibers. Although the full range of applications that best exploit these new developments are yet to be developed, the emerging innovative applications of nanofibers in biomedical, sensor, electronic, and other areas will likely be enabled or enhanced by these recent advances in several key techniques. Three review articles, distinct but interrelated, discuss technical research and development, and include possible applications for several industries in the polymer nanofiber arena.
