ABSTRACT
An emerging technology of manufacturing of thin natural fibers is based on the principle of electrospinning process. In conventional fiber spinning, the mechanical force is applied to the end of a jet. Whereas in the electrospinning process the electric body force act on element of charged fluid. Electrospinning has emerged as a specialized processing technique for the formation of sub-micron fibers (typically between 100 nm and 1 μm in diameter), with high specific surface areas. Due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, and small pore size, the unique fibers have been suggested for wide range of applications. Electrospinning of natural fibers offers unique capabilities for producing novel natural nanofibers and fabrics with controllable pore structure. Current research effort has focused in understanding the electrospinning of natural fibers in which the influence of different governing parameters are discussed.
