Electrospun nanofibers: Exploring process parameters, polymer selection, and recent applications in pharmaceuticals and drug delivery

Electrospinning is acknowledged as a versatile technique for producing polymer nanofibers. Various methods, such as template synthesis, self-assembly, phase separation, and drawing, have been employed to create nanofibers. However, due to its simplicity, adaptability, and the inherently high surface area-to-volume ratio in electrospun fibers, electrospinning has emerged as the most suitable method for nanofiber fabrication. This review delves into the mechanisms of nanofiber techniques and establishes how electrospinning overcomes the challenges presented by other nanofabrication methods. The review explores the principles of electrospinning, processing parameters, and their effects on resulting fibers. It…
