Electrospinning is a comparatively simple, effective and universal fabrication method for producing nanofibers with diameters ranging from 50nm to several micrometers using polymer solution melts. Normally electrospinning devices enable the production of electrospun nanofibers from only one material.

Using a nanofiber structure, a polymer solution is transformed into solid materials with electrospinning. The requirements are a solution of optimal physico-chemical properties, two electrodes connected to a high voltage source and a deposition chamber with controlled environmental conditions.

Over the last few years, nanotechnology has made significant progress and nanofibers in particular have attracted considerable attention because of the structures they produce in one- or three-dimensional format.
