One field of study in materials science and nanotechnology is the development and use of materials based on polymeric nanofibers. There is a lot
of interest in nano-fibrous materials due to their potential uses in various fields. These include biosensors, antibacterial materials, drug delivery
carriers, bioreactors, electronic and semi-conductive materials, reinforced nano-composites, affinity membranes, and stimuli-responsive or
"smart" materials. The reason behind this is their remarkable and essential properties, which allow for the creation of a diverse range of nano-
fiber based materials, such as beaded, ribbon, porous, and core-shell nano-fibers. These include a very high surface area to volume ratio, a
tunable void volume fraction and inter-fiber space, flexibility in surface functionalities, good mechanical performance, and malleability. The
method most often thought of for making nano-fibers is electro-spinning, sometimes called electro-static spinning. The electrospinning of
nanofibers has been accomplished with the use of a variety of materials, including biopolymers, polymer blends, melts, polymers impregnated
with nanoparticles or drugs, and porcelain precursors. Numerous surface modification methods have been used for nano-fibers due to the
significant significance that their surface chemical and physical characteristics play in a particular application. The surface of nano-fibers has
been physically immobilized with a range of bioactive compounds, such as enzymes, polysaccharides, and anti-cancer medications.
