Protection in many service areas is mandatory for good performance in daily activities of workers, especially health areas. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to protect patients and health workers from contamination by harmful pathogens and body fluids during clinical attendance. The pandemic scenario caused by SARS-CoV-2 has shown that the world is not prepared to face global disease outbreaks, especially when it comes to the PPE of healthcare workers. In the last years, the world has faced a deficiency in the development of advanced technologies to produce high-quality PPE to attend to the exponential increasing demand. Electrospinning is a technology that can be used to produce high-quality PPE by improving the protective action of clothing. In the face of this concern, this manuscript presents as focus the potential of electrospinning to be applied in protective clothing. PPE mostly used by healthcare workers are also presented. The physico-chemical characteristics and production processes of medical textiles for PPE are addressed. Furthermore, an overview of the electrospinning technique is shown. It is important to highlight most research about electrospinning applied to PPE for health areas presents gaps and challenges; thus, future projections are also addressed in this manuscript.

“…Electrospinning is a versatile method for producing nanofibers with properties like high surface area, variable porosity, degradeability, and manageability making them among other things suitable for pharmaceutical applications [1]. The electrospun fibrous structures are used for applications such as drug delivery systems [1], filtration [2], composite materials [3], tissue scaffolds [4,5], wound dressing [6,7], and protective clothing [8]. For drug delivery systems electrospinning is used for creating fibrous delivery vehicles that can provide controlled prolonged drug release making them ideal for applications such as administration of high-toxicity drugs [9].…”

Emulsion electrospinning is a promising method for creating fibrous vehicles for delivery of drugs and bioactive compounds for the medical and food industries. Droplet microfluidics is a potent way of continuously generating controllable emulsion droplets. The incorporation of a droplet generator in an electrospinning setup for continuous electrospinning of emulsion fibers has been investigated. The influence of a droplet generator on the morphology of emulsion fibers has been established through electrospinning of emulsions of grapeseed oil in PVA and gelatine. The droplet generator was found to have no influence on the morphology of fibers. Conventional emulsification methods and droplet generator emulsification has been used to investigate the influence of emulsion droplet sizes on the morphology of emulsion fibers. Increasing the emulsion droplet size was found to create in-fiber droplets with diameters larger than the fiber diameter. The size of the in-fiber droplets was found to be dependent on both material and emulsion size.
