1. INTRODUCTION:
Nanofiber technology is a part of nanotechnology. The major purpose of this technology is to create nanoscale fiber materials which can achieve superior functions. The nanofibers have such good features as flexibility, high specific surface area and should have a good directional strength. For these features, the nanofibers are used in a lot of applications that range from clothing to reinforcements used in aerospace structures. Nanofiber materials are considered as the basic building blocks of the living systems. Nanofibers form the multifunctional structural backbone for tissues and organs from the DNA molecules which include cytoskeleton filaments, to the sensory cells like the hair cells and the rod cells of the eye. Various kinds of stimulations between these cells help in conducting electrical and chemical signals. These signals help in directing the normal functions of these cells such as storing of energy, storage and
