摘　　要：Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique that uses electrostatic forces to create fbers in the nano o micro range from a variety of materials,both synthetic and natural Due to the high surface area to volume ratio,high porosity,and desirable mechanic characteristics of electrospun fbers,they are of current interest for a wide variety of applications.Some of the most signifcant applications of these fbers being researched include tissue engineering.drug delivery,wound dressings,environmental and energy applications,and protective materials.Notably,electrospun fbers may be specially tailored to better ft their fnal application through the direct 1oading of materials during the spining process as well as by choosing the correct base material for the fber.For example,it is desirable to use a biocompatible and biodegradable material in fibers desired for applications in the biomedical field;this way the fbers are able to safely interact with the human body.This review will explore the applications,as previously listed,with a focus on how fbers are made using carbohydrate polymers(such as alginate,cellulose and its derivatives,chitosan and chitin,starch,pul1ulan,hyaluronic acid,dextran,and 1evan)as their base material,and their applicability and functionality in various applications.
