Electrospinning: una Técnica Fascinante para la Obtención de Nanofibras Poliméricas

Porous and mechanically stable structures have found applications in many different areas. By using electrospinning technologies, it is possible to design robust, light, porous and high surface area materials from polymer nanofibers which composition, diameter, aspect and morphology can be easily and cost-effectively tuned. Thus, electrospinning is probably the most versatile process to produce polymer fibers from almost any polymer which can be solved or melt. Applications of these materials are currently focused on biomedicine and filtration technologies, but the results obtained as materials in renewable energies are very promising for near future uses.
