“…As a result, these mats are found suitable for biomedical applications as tissue engineering scaffolding, wound dressing, artificial blood vessels, drug delivery carriers, cosmetic and skin masks [6][7][8][9][10]. Recently, several researchers have reported electrospinning of several biocompatible polymers to explore their use in various biomedical applications These include polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), poly vinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan, polyhydroxybuyrate and its copolymers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. However, there is very little information focusing on electrospinning of Nylon 11.…”

Abstract. Nylon 11 nanofibers mats were successfully prepared by electrospinning process from formic acid solution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that nanofibers with uniform diameter were produced when the polymer concentration was 10% w/v, whereas ribbons were formed at a higher concentration. The crystalline structure of the nanofibers mats was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and it was found that the nanofibers mats crystallized in γ form. The melt crystallized as well as solution casted films however exhibited α form. The thermal properties of these samples were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and it was observed that electrospun fibers showed higher crystallinity than the melt-crystallized samples. However, the crystallinity of electrospun fibers was lower than the solution-crystallized sample.

The electrospinning process is highlighted with the ability of fabricating fibers with diameters on the nanometer scale, small inter-fibrous pore size and high porosity, vast possibilities for functionalization with high surface area to volume or mass ratio, ease of use and instrument setup, and adaptability. It attracted a great deal of attention due to its unique properties. More than 100 different polymers have been successfully electrospun into ultrafine fibers using this technique including synthetic polymers such as polyurethane (PU). Electrospun PU nanofiber mats exhibiting good mechanical properties may have a wide variety of potential applications in high-performance air filters, protective textiles, wound dressing materials, sensors, drug delivery, etc. This chapter deals with the electrospinning of polyurethane nanofibers and their potential applications.
