Abstract(s)
There is a natural connection between a variety of electrospun fibres and biomedical applications. The most commonly quoted application of electrospun fibres is their use as scaffolds in tissue engineering for regenerative medicine. There are also many other applications, which include drug delivery systems, membrane systems and analytical functionality. This chapter identifies the key challenges in each of these topics, as well as the particular role of electrospun fibres in addressing these challenges.
