ABSTRACT
In recent years, polymeric nanofibers have gained great interest because of their multifaceted functions. There are several ways of preparing polymeric nanofibers which include sonochemical method, centrifugal jet spinning, blow spinning, melt blowing, and electrospinning. Polymeric nanofibers have a wide range of biomedical applications owing to their unique characteristics such as high porosity, large aspect ratio, high permeability, easy functionalization methods, and good mechanical strength. This chapter provides an outlook on the various methods of fabricating polymeric nanofibers and their biomedical uses, for example, tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, wound dressing, medical prostheses, and immunosensing. In addition to that, it concisely discusses the challenges and future perspectives of the prepared polymeric nanofibers and using them for practical biomedical applications.
