Abstract

Nanotechnology involve the manipulation of materials on a very small scale in order to build microscopic
 machinery. Applying the knowledge of the structure of matter, these microscopic materials can be
 upgraded to complex objects with molecular precision. This area of science and technology is new and is
 receiving greater attention. Presently, progress is being made towards tailoring the morphology of
 materials by means of electrospinning process to form polymeric materials and for a variety of
 applications. In this brief review, the importance and areas of applications of nanotechnology have been
 examined.
