| Sumario: | Known internationally as electrospinning, is a technique patented by Formhals in 1974, but only now being seen to be exploited more consistently due to the advances of the textile industry in the development of fabrics and nonwoven with special properties. Nonwovens produced by electrospinning can have several characteristics, allowing their application in several segments, according to application areas, such as tissue engineering, wound healing, controlled release, sensors, selection membranes and recovery metals. Through electrospinning it is possible to produce polymer fibers of micrometric, sub-micron or nanometer sizes. The present work has the objective of presenting this technique of production of nonwovens, which is in increasing demand in the international market. With the present review, electrospinning has proved to be an alternative to produce technological and intelligent fabrics, with several specific properties. Still, the technique is poorly developed industrially. With the strong competition of the Asian market, the improvement and development of textile products are increasingly important. |
