Electrospun Ceramic Nanofiber Mats Today: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

Ceramic nanofibers (NFs) have recently been developed for advanced applications due to their unique properties. In this article, we review developments in electrospun ceramic NFs with regard to their fabrication process, properties, and applications. We find that surface activity of electrospun cer...
