Abstract

Nanofibers are a necessary source for fibrous materials and other useful applications such as tissue engineering, filtration, safety fabrics, batteries for the production of nanofibers so far. However, due to its low production rate, the wide commercial use of electrospinning is minimal. Almost all nanofiber fabrication techniques (e.g., melt blowing, two-component processes, phase splitting, template synthesis, and self-assembly, etc.) are used to produce nanofibers from a limited number of polymeric materials. Centrifugal spinning (CS) and solution blow spinning (SBS) are advanced replacement processes to fabricate nanofibers with full performance from various low-cost raw materials. This chapter focuses on a comprehensive overview of CS and SBS as well as various other aspects of the fabrication of nanofibers.
