Nonwoven polymer mats with fibre diameters in the nanometer and micrometer range are characterized by high porosity with very small pore size, interconnectivity and controllable mesh thickness. These characteristics, associated to the easy way to obtain the polymer nanofibres and large surface area to volume ratio make the nonwoven fiber mats a suitable material for different applications such as biosensor, electronic materials and filters. Polymer nanofibers mats are being considered for use in biomedical applications including the production of artificial blood vessels, scaffolds for engineered tissues, wound dressings.
