NANOFIBERS - A NOVEL CARRIER FOR DRUG DELIVERY: A REVIEW Authors: Jani RK* , MILAN M AND PATEL N
ABSTRACT
The drawbacks of traditional therapeutic medications succeed in making the development of
innovative therapies to treat a variety of medical conditions. Polymeric nanofibers, which are
interesting prospects for a variety of functionalities comprising drug delivery, biomedical
engineering, enzyme immobilization, personal protective equipment, textiles, packaging,
wound care, purification process and sensors have seen a significant increase in demand in
recent years. Researchers have developed a variety of methods, including many non-
electrospinning approaches and several electrospinning approaches, to meet this demand for
the creation of nanofibers. Electrospinning approach is most widely used for the creation of
nanofibers. Due to their high surface area to volume ratio and porosity, nanofibers have unique
characteristics that have drawn for the development of controlled drug delivery systems. This
review describes the numerous process innovations for the creation of nanofibers as well as
various pharmacological applications of polymeric nanofibers.
