Electrospun Nanofibers Interesting Properties

Property What's Interesting Potential Application Reference
Rapid cell adhesion, Read more Up to 45% of Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) was captured on electrospun collagen nanofiber compared to 3.6% captured on collagen coated coverslip at 30 min Implants requiring enrichment with MSC Chan et al 2009
Shear vs Normal adhesive force Shear vs Normal adhesive force ratio of Nylon 6 nanofiber membrane (dia. 50 nm) is 100 Dry adhesives with strong shear adhesion and weak normal adhesion for easy detachment Wong et al 2013
Degradation characteristics, Read more Degradation of polylactide nanofiber does not undergo autocatalytic degradation found in solid bulk structure. Implantable graft Dong et al 2010
Slip-flow of air over nanofiber Air filtration efficiency for 75 nm NaCl particles of PP nonwoven fabrics increased from 17.5% to 92% with addition of nanofibers Air filtration Li et al 2013
Composite Optical, Read more Nanofiber with diameter that is significantly below the visible light wavelength making them transparent as fillers in composites. Transparent composite Bergshoef et al 1999
Optical, Read more High optical transmittance of inorganic nanofibrous membrane Transparent electronic membrane Wu et al 2010
Ultrafast drug release Water soluble nanofibers readily dissolves when contact with water due to its high surface area to volume Oral film, disease transmission prevention Nagy et al 2010
Water collection and transportation Aligned fibers wound on a stiff needle followed by heat treatment was able to mimic the hierarchical groove structure of "Cactus Spine". The artificial spine showed excellent water transportation property. Water collection in arid regions Bai et al 2015
