ABSTRACT
Nanofluids are a new class of fluids engineered by dispersing nanometer-sized nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanosheets, or droplets in base fluids like oil or water. Polymer nanofibers have been suggested for making vascular prostheses and breast prostheses. Biodegradable polymeric nanofibers have been sprayed on the skin wounds using an electrical field to produce a fibrous mat dressing. Polymeric nanofibers have been found to exhibit promising potential in drug delivery. Electrospun nanofibers show lower impedance to moisture vapor diffusion and maximum efficiency in trapping the aerosol particles as compared to conventional textiles. Conventional fuel cells have several drawbacks including high cost, durability, and operation issues. To a certain extent, these limitations can be reduced by using nanofuel cells which have better efficiency, nanosize, and safe storage of hydrogen. Nanostructured materials are effectively utilized to improve the transformation of hydrogen energy into electricity by using the fuel cells.
