Summary:Polymeric nanofibers are an exciting new class of material and have attracted great attention because of their remarkable properties, such as high specific surface area, high porosity, high molecular alignment, or nanosize effects. Additionally, many different types of molecules can be easily incorporated into nanofibers to greatly expand their drug loading capacity or to provide the sustained release of the embedded drug molecules. Also, they can be easily manipulated as a macroscopic bulk matter that may create opportunities for profitable new uses as an implantable local drug delivery platform. This review article introduces four types of nanofibers; nanofibers with sustained and on-off drug release properties combined with thermo-therapy.
