Abstract

Advancement is a result of recurring efforts beyond expectation‖. Nanofibers are an exciting
materials defined as fibers having diameter less than or equal to 100 nm. When we deal with Nanolevel
the conditions required are different compared to micro-level. The dispersion of nanofiller is
difficult because of orientation effect and less aspect ratio. Nanofibers exhibit special properties
mainly due to extremely high surface to weight ratio compared to other nonwoven fibers. Low
density, large surface area to mass, high pore volume, and tight pore size make nanofiber
appropriate for making membranes as filtration applications. Those properties will be helpful in
ameliorating the conventional solar cells, supercapacitors and battery separators. The most
important property; which is high surface area makes it worthful in applications described above.
