Electrospinning is a process to produce the fibers in nano scale by injecting the polymer solution through a metallic needle to a high voltage electrical field. Different parameters affect the process production and regularity of obtained nano-web. Among these parameters, there are physical parameters depending on the electrospinning booth, electrical parameters and polymer solution properties. For nanofibers production, the first step is to determine the most efficient polymer-solvent pairs and the optimal experimental conditions for both homogeneous and reproducible products. Obtaining mechanical and morphological properties of nanofibers nonwowen is complex and depends on the electrospinning parameters, but also the solution properties. One of the most important properties of the solution is its viscosity. It was therefore necessary to study for the selected pairs (PA, PAN, PLA, PHEA) their rheological behaviour. These rheological studios allow to explain the morphology of obtained nanofibers, which could be explained by the conformation of the macromolecules in the solution. Nonwoven nanofibers obtained were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological aspects. Other characterizations, thermal (DSC), spectroscopie (FTIR) and mechanical (tensile and indentation) completed the characterization of these materials. After these previous studios, the nanofibers have been used in two applications. (1) The incorporation of nanofillers and compatibilization within a polymer matrix (Polyacrylonitrile). The influence on the geometric properties of nanofibers, and surface morphology were observed by AFM nano-roughness analysis. (2) The production by electrospinning of a guide tube for cell growth and reconnection of severed nerves: from a biopolymer. The produced material had to meet strict specifications in terms of size, structure, and mechauical properties.
