Electrospun materials consideration

The use of electrospun fibers and fiber meshes in tissue engineering applications often involves several considerations, including choice of material, fiber orientation, porosity, surface modification and tissue application [240-243]. Choices in materials include both natural and synthetic materials, as well as hybrid blends of... 

Compared with the traditional adsorbent such as activated carbon, zeolites, and silica gel, electrospun nanoflbers are good candidates for heavy metal ion adsorption due to its large surface area, tailored pore structure, good interconnectivity of pores, and potential to incorporate active chemistry or functionality on nanoscale [62,63]. Moreover, recycle is of great importance in the field of water treatment taking this aspect into consideration, the nanofiber-based adsorbents are more suitable compared with powdered nanoporous materials.
