The produced nanofibers from polymer solutions or melts have been a focus of interest as they have many potential applications in energy conversion and storage, environmental, biomedical, and pharmacological area. In addition, new application areas are created by functionalizing the produced nanofibers with different features as antimicrobial, conductive, responsive to stimulus, and biomimetic properties. Conventional electrospinning setup can be modified for large-scale and continuous production by integration with developing technologies. In this chapter, firstly, history, process theory, and basic principles of electrospinning are summarized. Then, the latest developed technologies related to electrospinning, functionalization routes to add superior features to the nanofibrous materials, and remarkable application areas of electrospun nanofibers are presented. Finally, future trends in the electrospinning area are discussed. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessApplication areasElectrospinningElectrospun nanofibersFunctional nanofibersModified techniquesBook Part10.1007/978-3-030-99958-2_13342-s2.0-85141185309N/A
