Nanofibers have numerous applications due to their unique properties. Some key areas include:
Medical: Nanofibers are used in drug delivery, wound dressings, and tissue engineering. Their high surface area allows for efficient drug loading and controlled release. Filtration: The small pore sizes of nanofiber mats make them ideal for air and water filtration, effectively trapping pollutants and pathogens. Energy: In energy storage and conversion, nanofibers are used in batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells to enhance performance and efficiency. Textiles: Nanofibers are incorporated into fabrics to provide functionalities such as antibacterial properties, moisture management, and enhanced mechanical strength. Environmental Remediation: Nanofibers are employed to remove contaminants from soil and water, thanks to their high adsorption capacity and reactivity.
