“…With the continuous research of related scholars, the application of electrospinning nanofibers has become more and more extensive. In addition to playing a role in the field of biomedicine (drug delivery [ 150 , 151 , 152 ], tissue engineering [ 153 ] and wound dressings), it also plays a pivotal position in environmental protection (air filtration, water treatment), energy and chemical industries (light-emitting device, solar cell and supercapacitor) and other fields [ 154 , 155 ]. Fiber materials with unique structures and characteristics arranged by electrospinning have been generally utilized in different fields ( Figure 9 ).…”

With the increasing demand for wound care and treatment worldwide, traditional dressings have been unable to meet the needs of the existing market due to their limited antibacterial properties and other defects. Electrospinning technology has attracted more and more researchers’ attention as a simple and versatile manufacturing method. The electrospun nanofiber membrane has a unique structure and biological function similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and is considered an advanced wound dressing. They have significant potential in encapsulating and delivering active substances that promote wound healing. This article first discusses the common types of wound dressing, and then summarizes the development of electrospun fiber preparation technology. Finally, the polymers and common biologically active substances used in electrospinning wound dressings are summarized, and portable electrospinning equipment is also discussed. Additionally, future research needs are put forward.

The fabrication of chemical sensors based on one-dimensional (1D) metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) nanostructures with tailored geometries has rapidly advanced in the last two decades. Chemical sensitive 1D MOS nanostructures are usually configured as resistors whose conduction is altered by a charge-transfer process or as field-effect transistors (FET) whose properties are controlled by applying appropriate potentials to the gate. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art research on chemical sensors based on 1D MOS nanostructures of the resistive and FET types. The chapter begins with a survey of the MOS and their 1D nanostructures with the greatest potential for use in the next generation of chemical sensors, which will be of very small size, low-power consumption, low-cost, and superior sensing performance compared to present chemical sensors on the market. There follows a description of the 1D MOS nanostructures, including composite and hybrid structures, and their synthesis techniques. And subsequently a presentation of the architectures of the current resistive and FET sensors, and the methods to integrate the 1D MOS nanostructures into them on a large scale and in a cost-effective manner. The chapter concludes with an outlook of the challenges facing the chemical sensors based on 1D MOS nanostructures if their massive use in sensor networks becomes a reality.

“…[ 9 ] Studies have demonstrated that the structure and properties of the reinforcing nanofibers have a critical influence on the properties of the composite. [ 11,12 ] In particular, nanofiber diameter is a key factor affecting the performance of nanofiber‐reinforced composites. [ 13–15 ] Many studies have demonstrated the effect of fiber diameter on the mechanical properties of electrospun fibers.…”

Nanofibers offer great potential for improving the mechanical performance of optically transparent composites without compromising transparency. To achieve this, the reinforcing nanofibers must be thinner than the low end of the visible light spectrum (400 nm). Herein, a self‐mixing co‐electrospinning approach was employed to prepare electrospun meshes of well‐blended nylon‐6 (PA‐6) nanofibers and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers, from which composite films containing PA‐6 nanofibers with varied diameters (approximately 100–800 nm) and mass fractions (1–7 wt%) were fabricated by hot‐press molding. When the PA‐6 nanofiber content was less than 5 wt%, the mechanical properties of the PA‐6/PMMA composite remarkably improved compared to those of neat PMMA, without considerably influencing its transparency. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the PA‐6/PMMA composite was clearly improved compared to that of neat PMMA. These results suggest that this material has the potential for wider adoption in applications requiring both transparency and high mechanical properties.
