4. Conclusion

Electrospinning has expanded rapidly over the last 20 years, mainly due to its applications and the industrialization of production methods. Studies have shown that a wide range of materials can be used to produce nanofibers. These include biopolymers, synthetic polymers, composites and colloidal particles. Whether during electrospinning or in post-treatment, new functionalities/properties can be added to electrospun membranes, enabling a wide range of applications. Their specific properties, in particular their high porosity and high specific surface area, enable them to be used in a wide range of high value-added fields. What's more, the hybrid nature of both fibers and membranes means that new properties can be added, resulting in fibers with multiple functionalities.

This is why the global market for nanofibers is so large and constantly growing. To meet this...
