Nanofibers can be made from a wide range of materials, including polymers, ceramics, and composites. Polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polylactic acid (PLA), and polyethylene oxide (PEO) are frequently used due to their ease of processing and tunable properties. Inorganic nanofibers, such as those made from silica or titanium dioxide, are also popular for their high thermal stability and mechanical strength.
