It refers to the superfine fiber with a diameter of nanometer. Usually, nanoparticle are filled into ordinary fibers, or ordinary fibers are modified to obtain nanometer scale characteristics. These fibers are sometimes called nanofibre. The methods for preparing nanofibre include stretching, template synthesis, self-assembly, microphase separation, electrostatic spinning, etc. nanofibre have many remarkable characteristics, including: great specific surface: nanofibre have high specific surface area, which makes them show excellent performance in adsorption and reaction. High length diameter ratio: the length of nanofibre is very high relative to its diameter, which increases its ability to penetrate each other. Extremely fine fiber diameter: this makes the structure of nanofibre very fine, with characteristic luster and color. High porosity: nanofibre has very high porosity, suitable for filtration and separation applications. Excellent flexibility, adsorption, adhesion, and insulation. nanofibre have broad application prospects in various fields, including national defense (such as protective clothing), reinforcing agent, efficient filter media, drug delivery, biological materials, precision electronics and optical devices. These characteristics make nanofibre a very promising materials.
