A Review on the Recent Developments in Electrospinned Nanofibers for Drug Delivery

One of the newest areas of research in the biomedical field is the investigation of innovative medication drug delivery methods through nanofibers. Electrospinning has emerged as the most feasible method for producing the nanofibers with a variety of advantageous properties that are critical in a variety of applications spanning from the environment to medicine. Electrospinning is a potential technology for generating a nanofibrous materials because it allows pharmaceuticals to be inserted in the nanofibers and delivered over a specific time. The amazing properties of nanofibers are due to their tiny pore size and high surface area, particularly like polymer-based nanofibers. Ultra-fine fibers made from a variety of polymers, including synthetic, natural, and hybrid materials, have been studied effectively. Because of their potential uses in drug delivery systems, nanofibers with good drug-loading capabilities, regulated release, and great stability have piqued the interest of researchers. The manufacture of fibers at nanoscale for diverse medical applications is ensured by the multidisciplinary science of nanotechnology which is rapidly growing which needs focused review in the current results. Recent studies have discussed some aspect of the use of the electrospinning method to create fibers for the effective delivery of drugs. Electrospun fibers, on the other hand, are confined to tissue scaffolding applications needs to be reviewed. This review describes an overview of the electrospinning techniques and applications in drug delivery and the current developments in the nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems particularly by employing nanofibers produced by the electrospinning methods.
