Nanofiber fabric products are performed as individual materials in particular applications because of their unique properties. Researchers are taking advantage of nanofiber fabrics, developing many new application fields for them, in terms of protective clothing, filtration, wearable devices, biomedical applications, etc. (Zhu et al. 2016; Thenmozhi et al. 2017). Nanofiber fabrics, especially nonwoven type, are often set as interlayers among sandwich structure, which can guarantee the mechanical strength and filtration performance for some applications, such as filtration and protective clothing. Also in other applications, nanofiber fabrics are used as substrates for carrying functional materials. For instance, nanofiber fabrics can be used to load active materials in the field of energy storage and carry drugs in medical applications. The applications of nanofiber fabrics are introduced and discussed below in details.
