Descriptor nanofibras
Scope note: Fibras de tamaño submicrónico con diámetros entre 50 y 500 nanómetros. El extremadamente reducido tamaño de estas fibras puede generar una gran área de superficie respecto de su volumen, lo que las convierte en potenciales candidatos para diversas aplicaciones biomédicas y de otra índole.
