| Popis: | Although the electrospinning (ES) is known for almost 80 years, only in the last two decades this technique has been widely used for obtaining micro- and/or nanofibers. Several aspects contributed for spreading the electrospinning, for instance, the easy operational aspects, affordable equipment, and highly versatile design setup, among others. So, in view of materials chemistry, the electrospinning is one of paramount techniques for processability of polymers and product development at submicrometric scales. This chapter presents the basic concepts of electrospinning of polymeric solutions as well as experimental arrangements commonly employed for different materials. Recent results toward the development of polymer mats published in the literature are discussed as well as the structure/properties relationship. Different applications of electrospun mats are discussed in this chapter. A very large window of opportunities remains opened for developing mats as absorbents for industrial effluent treatments. Solid-phase microextraction analysis is another field in which electrospun mats find the enormous potential of application. The high surface area to volume ratio allows electrospun mats to work as an efficient drug-releasing device even as scaffolds for cell growth and tissue engineering. This chapter is divided in the following sections: The Introduction (in Sect. 1) deals with the basic aspects of electrospinning such as the experimental devices used and the parameters that may influence the morphology and properties of mats; chemical and physical characterization of electrospun mats are discussed in Sect. 2; Sect. 3 shows the most relevant technological applications of electrospun fibers. More than 260 references are provided. |
