Electrospun nanofiber for drug delivery applications: a review

, , &
Received 04 Aug 2023, Accepted 18 Apr 2024, Published online: 11 May 2024
 

ABSTRACT

Electrospinning has become a facile, novel, and sophisticated method for fabricating 1D objects using repulsive force. This technique has garnered much attention as it can produce nanofibers with a larger surface area and maximum porosity, which makes their surface morphology more desirable for biomedical and bioengineering approaches. This cutting-edge allows for greater versatility and adaptability in nanofibre fabrication, which opens up new possibilities for use in fields like medication delivery and tissue engineering. The electrospinning technique of nanofiber is discussed in detail, along with its current and future applications and possibilities.
