Progress in Biomass-Based Electrospun Nanofibers in Bio-Medical Application

Abstract:

Traditional biomedical applications in wound dressing and tissue engineering materials frequently lack the appropriate balance of environmental friendliness, antibacterial effectiveness, and mechanical strength. A growing number of medical applications are focusing on electrospun nanofibers because of their special qualities, which include a high surface area-to-volume ratio, tailor-made mechanical strength and more eco-friendly. The goal of this review paper is to thoroughly examine the corpus of research that is currently available about electrospun, nanofibers especially made from aloe vera and pineapple leaf fibers for use in biomedical applications. This review's goals include optimizing electrospinning conditions, assessing biocompatibility, researching antibacterial activity, and its current challenge.
