Electrospinning: How to Produce Nanofibers Using Most Inexpensive Technique? An Insight into the Real Challenges of Electrospinning Such Nanofibers and Its Application Areas

Abstract

This paper highlights about the use of a very simple and inexpensive device for the production of nanofiber and its application in different biomedical areas. There are several literatures that explain the different methods for preparing as spun nanofibers but they are very time consuming and difficult in reproducing results unlike the robust electrospinning device discussed in this paper. Though easier to use, this methodology has still a lot of challenges that should be addressed in the upcoming researches. We have briefly summarized few challenges and application areas that require utmost attention to excel in the field of nanotechnology. Despite several application areas where the technique of electrospinning can be deployed in the fabrication of nanofibers, we have mainly emphasized energy related devices in the field of nanoelectronics.
