Cellulose acetate (CA) has been a material of choice for spectrum of utilities across different domains ranging from high absorbing diapers to membrane filters. Electrospinning has conferred a whole new perspective to polymeric materials including CA in the context of multifarious applications across myriad of niches. In the present review, we try to bring out the recent trend (focused over last five years' progress) of research on electrospun CA fibers of nanoscale regime in the context of developmental strategies of their blends and nanocomposites for advanced applications. In the realm of biotechnology, electrospun CA fibers have found applications in biomolecule immobilization, tissue engineering, bio-sensing, nutraceutical delivery, bioseparation, crop protection, bioremediation and in the development of anti-counterfeiting and pH sensitive material, photocatalytic self-cleaning textile, temperature-adaptable fabric, and antimicrobial mats, amongst others. The present review discusses these diverse applications of electrospun CA nanofibers.
醋酸纤维素（CA）已成为各种用途的首选材料，从高吸水性尿布到膜过滤器。静电纺丝为包括 CA 在内的聚合物材料带来了全新的视角，在各种利基市场的多种应用中都具有重要意义。在本综述中，我们试图阐述过去五年间在开发 CA 纤维纳米级共混物和纳米复合材料的研究进展，探讨其在先进应用中的发展趋势。在生物技术领域，静电纺 CA 纤维在生物分子固定化、组织工程、生物传感、营养输送、生物分离、作物保护、生物修复以及防伪和 pH 敏感材料、光催化自清洁纺织品、温度自适应织物和抗菌垫等方面得到了应用。本综述讨论了静电纺 CA 纳米纤维的这些不同应用。
