Publication Abstract

The development in the field of nanofibers since last decade has reshaped the sense of polymer synthesis. Its high potential has rendered significant contributions in various advance applications. This featured article presents the nanofiber and its potential applications in various scientific and commercial fields. Moreover, the recent developments in the synthesis of nanofiber membranes forultra and nano filtration of water are tabulated. Keeping the water scarcity problem in mind, many novel membranes (along with raw polymer and solvents) are discussed which are under research or being implemented for ultra and nanofiltration.
