In the present review, we have selected advances in electrospinning nanofibers that we envision to be embedded in textiles and
wearables. These nanofibers have been proven to be excellent options for applications such as power generation, sensing, and
communication. Their similitude with already known woven meshes makes these fibers perfect for electronically active textiles.
These fibers offer well known characteristics such as mechanical flexibility, high surface area-to-volume ratio, light weight and
can be tuned by carefully selecting the active materials in the precursor solution. Here we will discuss polymers with electroactive,
piezoelectric, triboelectric and their composites that have been used in fiber structures by using the electrospinning
technique.
