Aims

The Nano Fiber is a peer-reviewed journal that aims to provide a dedicated, high-visibility forum for the ever-expanding community that investigates nanofibers in their myriad forms. The journal’s primary aim is to accelerate the translation of fundamental discoveries in fiber-forming physics, chemistry and materials science into scalable technologies that address global challenges in biomedicine, energy, environment, advanced materials, and biodegradable fiber. By welcoming rigorous interdisciplinary studies that integrate advanced fabrication (electrospinning, blow-spinning, melt-drawing, template synthesis, 3-D printing, microfluidic spinning, fiber-spinning chemistry, multilevel hybrid structure), in-situ/operando characterization, multiscale modelling and life-cycle analysis, Nano Fiber seeks to establish a coherent knowledge base that links molecular-level mechanisms to macroscopic performance. We specifically encourage work that elucidates nucleation, jetting, whipping, stretching and solidification phenomena under complex thermal, electrical, hydrodynamic or biological fields; that quantifies structure–property relationships across nano- to macro-scales; that pioneers green and solvent-free processes amenable to large-scale production; and that demonstrates reproducible, application-oriented metrics such as filtration efficiency, drug-release kinetics, energy density, mechanical durability or biocompatibility. Equally, the journal aims to foster standardization of protocols and reproducibility checks that will raise the reliability of nanofiber literature. Through rapid, fair and transparent peer review, Nano Fiber strives to become the authoritative source where academics, clinicians and engineers disseminate breakthroughs, identify emerging trends and forge collaborations that ultimately guide nanofiber science from bench to marketplace. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

Nano Fiber welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, rapid communications, and perspectives that address critical challenges and emerging opportunities in the field. It will include but not limit to the following topics:

• Novel synthesis and electrospinning techniques (e.g., solution/gas jet, melt, coaxial, near-field, and needleless methods)
• Advanced characterization of structural, mechanical, electrical, optical, and surface properties
• Functional nanofiber design for stimuli-responsiveness, self-assembly, and hierarchical architectures
• Hybrid and composite nanofibers incorporating nanoparticles, 2D materials, biomolecules, or polymers
• Scalable manufacturing, green processing, and life-cycle assessment
• Biomedical applications: drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound dressings, biosensors, and regenerative medicine
• Research on biomimetic nanofibers (such as the silk produced by silkworms and spiders)
• Environmental technologies: air/water filtration, oil spill remediation, catalysis, and sustainable energy
• Energy storage and conversion: batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar harvesting, and thermoelectrics
• Smart textiles, flexible electronics, and wearable sensors
• Modeling and simulation of fiber formation, transport phenomena, and property–structure relationships

Nano Fiber is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research findings, integrating laboratory innovations with practical applications, and striving to become a top journal in the field of fibers. The journal prioritizes work that demonstrates significant advances in performance, scalability, sustainability, or mechanistic insight. Rigorous peer review and rapid editorial handling ensure that exceptional contributions reach a global audience of academic, industrial, and clinical stakeholders.
