Abstract

Electrospun porous nanofibers have gained a lot of interest recently in various fields because of their adjustable porous structure, high specific surface area, and large number of active sites, which can further enhance the performance of materials. This paper provides an overview of the common polymers, preparation, and applications of electrospun porous nanofibers. Firstly, the polymers commonly used to construct porous structures and the main pore-forming methods in porous nanofibers by electrospinning, namely the template method and phase separation method, are introduced. Secondly, recent applications of electrospun porous nanofibers in air purification, water treatment, energy storage, biomedicine, food packaging, sensor, sound and wave absorption, flame retardant, and heat insulation are reviewed. Finally, the challenges and possible research directions for the future study of electrospun porous nanofibers are discussed.

  • Aligned electrospun fibers impart directional cues to the material, improve the tensile strength of PLCL materials, and guide the directional growth of cells and tissues.

    “Aligned electrospun fibers further impart directional cues to the material, improve the tensile strength of PLCL materials, and guide the directional growth of cells and tissues [78].”

    From Application of PLCL as a biodegradable polymer in biomedical engineering (2026) · cites this paper as [78]

    Section 4.4 (page unavailable) discusses tensile strength in PLA/chitosan membranes and cell attachment to porous scaffolds, not aligned PLCL fibers. Searches for aligned fibers, PLCL, and directional cell growth found no passage addressing the claimed effects of alignment. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
