Biopolymer fibers synthesis:

Nanofibers have attracted high interest in the medical field for drug delivery, medical devices and diagnosis
because of their unique properties, high porosity, large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility, functionality, etc.

Electrospinning allows the preparation of nanofibers and the tailoring of the biopolymer properties.
