Abstract
Electrospinning has been a process of great interest due to its versatility and potential to be used in a wide range of applications. It is possible to produce nanofibers with diameters ranging between a few nanometers to micrometers thanks to the latest developments in electrospinning. Electrospun nanofibers promise diverse applications including biotechnology, drug delivery, wound healing, tissue engineering, microelectronics, environmental protection, energy harvest and storage due to their very large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities and superior mechanical performance. This paper focuses on electrospinning process principles and relation of process parameters with electrospun polyurethane (PU) nanofiber structural properties. The electrospun PU nanofibers have been used as coating on textile fabric.
