Applications of Nanofibers

In our contribution, we present preliminary theoretical results of our research connected with possible application of nanofibers in building industry. 

Some of the biomedical application of nanofibers is to cure for wound and burnings in human skin. It can be designed for especially hemostatic tools. Electrospun biodegradable polymers can be spun onto the wound skin. They form a thin web onto the skin. This web protects skin from microbes. Moreover, it helps to heal the wound quickly. Finally, it minimizes the possibility of scars. Electrospun nanofiber equipment used in wound healing is shown in Fig. 2.2. 

The other potential applications of nanofibers are wires, capacitors, transistors, and diodes for information technology and enzyme carriers. The application of nanofibers in textiles is not aimed only at specialized industries involved in technical textiles. ...

Inasmuch as we focus on the composite applications of nanofibers, only the most important fields are introduced here, and even those only briefly. The first one is filtration, which is currently the primary utilization of electrospun nanofibers. Nanofibrous mats axe available in the market and can be applied in industrial filters, and in air and water cleaning systems. It is also an example for functionalized nanofibers because these nanomaterials contain activated carbon particles and therefore can fQter out different chemicals in addition to submicron particles [44].
