Abstract :When considering fiber-based materials, electrospinning is a fascinating method for producing polymeric nano/micro fibers in comparison with other techniques. Its wide range of applications from engineering to medicine make electrospinning gain great interest. Beside fibrous structure of fiber mats, topographical features on and/or inside fiber surfaces make them ideal candidates for site-specific applications. Several approaches have been adopted to gain desired topographical textures on individual fiber surfaces. Solvent properties, environmental conditions and also conditions for preparing fibers induce topographical changes in various physical characteristics.Keywords : Surface Topography, Porous Fibers, Electrospinning, Humidity
