Abstract

A novel technique for the fabrication of nanofibers through electrospinning has proven effective in the field of nanotechnology. Nanofibers of polymers and composites produced by drawing charged threads from polymer solutions or polymer melts by the effective use of electric force have applications in daily use of the twenty-first century. But the use of metals, ceramics, carbohydrates, crystalline polysaccharides, and cellulose as a solvent for electrospinning is also gaining a popular trend now. From the development of electric force way back in the 80s to the application of these forces to draw polymers from electric charges, electrospinning is modified. The modification is so vast that structural change from needle to needleless electrospinning, from single spinneret to multiple jets is developed. Structural changes using carbon nanostructures with the change in polymer solution from inorganic to organic and from organic to herbal are also examined for several prototype applications. These modifications in characteristics leading to improved hydrophilicity, tensile strength, electrical properties and permeability prove electrospinning a worthy candidate for nanotechnology in terms of energy storage, tissue engineering and biomedical applications. These applications are proof that electrospinning has the capability of shaping technology with mass industrial productions. Referring to the applications from past to present, electrospinning has been developed by designing the machine to be more versatile, tailoring the collectors and spinnerets, using different voltages for different applications and using different polymer solutions for enhanced properties, which happen to create a benchmark assembly for developing artificial intelligence and smart materials used as an advancement in science and technology. In this chapter, the historical prospect of electrospinning, its development and modifications for the effective production of nanofibers consisting of carbon nanomaterials are discussed with suitable examples. In addition, selected engineering applications of nanofibers modified with carbon nanomaterials for biomedical, energy, environmental, sensory, agricultural, optoelectrical, and food packaging are briefly discussed.
