Nanofibers can be defined as fibers with diameters in the range of 100–1000
nanometer. Nanofibers is a new class of materials used for several value-added
applications such as filtration, medicines, composites, and energy storage.
Nanofibers can be manufactured by interfacial polymerization, antisolvent-induced
polymer precipitation, melt processing, or electrostatic spinning. Carbon nanofibers
are graphitized fibers formed by catalytic synthesis.
Nanofibers are used in tissue engineering and drug delivery as well as in artificial
organ components, implant materials, wound dressings, and therapeutic textile
materials. Recently, researchers have discovered that nanofiber meshes can be
used against the HIV-1 virus and also as a contraception. In the healing of wounds,
nanofibers accumulate at the injury site and remain at that place, drawing the
body’s own development factors to the injury site. Nanofibers are also used in
pigments for cosmetics. They can stimulate the fabrication of cartilage in damaged
joints. Numerous approaches toward this use of nanofibers are being utilized by
researchers at John Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, and
Northwestern University. Researchers are using nanofibers in sensors that modify
color as they engross chemical vapors. They plan to use these sensors to
demonstrate when the absorbing material in a gas mask becomes saturated.
Researchers have also developed piezoelectric nanofibers that are elastic enough to
be interlaced into clothing. These fibers can transform the normal motion into
energy to power the electronic devices such as mobile phones. In addition,
researchers are developing nanofibers to capture cancer cells flowing in the blood
stream. They use nanofibers covered with antibodies that bind to cancer cells,
ensnaring those cells.

Growth of bioengineering and biomedical industries across the globe is projected to
boost the demand for nanofibers. Additionally, increase in demand for medicines in
emerging economies in Asia Pacific and Latin America is projected to further propel
the demand for nanofibers in those economies. However, volatile prices of raw
materials and availability of substitutes can hamper the growth of this market.
