Abstract

Electrostatic spinning technology has already been proved to be a passable and effective method for manufacturing one-dimensional nanomaterials, which has received special interest of researchers. Electrospinning is currently the only technique that allows the fabrication of continuous fibers with diameters down to a few nanometers. In this chapter, nanofiber materials and electrospinning are summarized, especially the nanofiber prepared from natural polymer was emphasized. The basic process and forming mechanism of electrospinning nanofibers were theoretically explained, and the factors and device types affecting the morphology and state of the fibers were analyzed. Finally, the application of electrospinning nanofibers, especially the naturally derived nanofibers, in many aspects were summarized.
