Dimension Controlled Polymeric Matrices and Graphene Filler-Based Nanofibres by Electrospinning

Abstract

Polymer graphene-based nanofibres obtained using electrospinning are increasingly used in wound dressing materials, filtration membranes, smart mats, and catalytic supports for catalysis, energy harvesting, conversion, and storage, photonic/electronic devices and various biomedical applications and thus attracting more and more research in the material chemistry. After keeping the importance of polymer graphene-based nanofibres in mind, first part of this chapter deals with the methods used so far to control the dimension of the polymer matrix by using different published articles. Second part of this chapter briefs about the properties of the electrospun nanofibres which showed better performances after the incorporation of graphene or graphene oxide (GO) filler and their applications. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
