Abstrakt: This article provides information on nanofiber nonwovens. The first part of this article describes some of the techniques used in producing nanofibers. Next, it describes some of the properties of nanofibers. Nanofibers are an exciting new class of material used for several value added applications such as medical, filtration, barrier, wipes, personal care, composite garments, insulation, and energy storage. Generally, polymeric nanofibers are produced by an electrospinning process. Another technique for producing nanofibers is spinning bi-component fibers. The last part of this article details some of the applications in which nanofibers are used.
