“…Such nanowebs have enough pores to assure the exchange of liquids and gases with the environment, but have dimensions that prevent bacteria from entering. [220,448,449] The nanofibrillar structure of the nanoweb promotes skin growth, and if a suitable drug is integrated into the fibers, it can be released into the healing wound in a homogeneous and controlled manner. [447] Furthermore, the large specific surface area of up to 100 m 2 g À1 is very favorable for the adsorption of liquids and the local release of drugs on the skin, making these materials suitable for application in hemostatic wound closure.…”

“…[14,448] Compared to conventional wound treatment, the advantage is that scarring is prevented by the use of nanofibers. [220,448,449] The nanofibrillar structure of the nanoweb promotes skin growth, and if a suitable drug is integrated into the fibers, it can be released into the healing wound in a homogeneous and controlled manner. The charging of biodegradable nanofibers with antibiotics was realized with the drugs cefazolin and mefoxin.…”

Electrospinning is a highly versatile method to process solutions or melts, mainly of polymers, into continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few micrometers to a few nanometers. This technique is applicable to virtually every soluble or fusible polymer. The polymers can be chemically modified and can also be tailored with additives ranging from simple carbon-black particles to complex species such as enzymes, viruses, and bacteria. Electrospinning appears to be straightforward, but is a rather intricate process that depends on a multitude of molecular, process, and technical parameters. The method provides access to entirely new materials, which may have complex chemical structures. Electrospinning is not only a focus of intense academic investigation; the technique is already being applied in many technological areas.

Das Elektrospinnen ist eine vielseitige Methode, um aus Lösungen und Schmelzen, vorwiegend von Polymeren, kontinuierliche Fasern mit Durchmessern von wenigen Mikrometern bis zu wenigen Nanometern herzustellen. Die Methode ist vielseitig anwendbar, da sich nahezu alle löslichen und schmelzbaren Polymere einsetzen lassen, die Polymere außerdem mit unterschiedlichsten Additiven – von einfachen Rußpartikeln bis zu komplexen Spezies wie Enzymen, Viren und Bakterien – ausgerüstet werden können und natürlich auch chemische Modifikationen möglich sind. Die Methode des Elektrospinnens erscheint einfach, ist aber ein äußerst komplexer Vorgang, der von einer Vielzahl von molekularen, Prozess‐ und apparativen Parametern beeinflusst wird, was natürlich auch Möglichkeiten für vollkommen neuartige Materialien mit komplexem chemischem Aufbau bietet. Das Elektrospinnen ist nicht nur eine Methode, die derzeit intensiv erforscht wird, sie findet auch bereits Anwendungen in vielen technischen Bereichen.
