Nanofibers for Medical Textiles

Abstract

This chapter introduces the nanofibers for medical textiles. Nanofibers possess the various unique characteristics, which enable them to be used for different fields of advanced textiles. The structure of nanofibers plays an important role to achieve the functional applications for technical medical textiles (Medtech). The key formation mechanisms of structured functional nanofibers such as core-shell, aligned, porous, composite, tubular, mechanical, and chemical are reviewed, including the briefed information on the processes involved. Recently, many researchers are focusing on nanofibers as the suitable methods and materials for Medtech which enhance the scope of medical textiles. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties are the main issues for biomedical textile products as scaffolds. To overcome these issues, electrospun nanofibers could be very suitable for medical textiles, because the electrospun nanofibers are continuous nanofibers meshes that mimic the extracellular matrix as the medical textiles product. The main features of advanced examples and innovative applications are reviewed, and at the end of this chapter, the future of medical textiles is also discussed.
