Electrospinning is one of the simple, versatile, and convenient techniques for producing nanofibers that have found numerous applications in the fields of biomedical engineering, surface materials, and catalysis. Despite the great achievements, the electrospinning compounds are still limited to the utilization of polymers with high molar mass which are regarded as an indispensable element for the production of nanofibers. It is found that electrospinning chemicals based on supramolecular systems can avoid the use of high molecular weight polymers, and it is emerging as a powerful route to generate fibers in the nano-scale size. The presence of strong intermolecular interactions that function as chain entanglements allows for the formation of nanofibers during the process of electrospinning. This article provides recent impressive developments concerning nanofiber preparation made by the combination of electrospinning and supramolecular chemistry, which enables easy access to tailor-made nanofibers. Electrospinning supramolecular systems consisting of phospholipids, surfactants, crown ether derivatives as well as cyclodextrins will be highlighted in this review. Moreover, we will pay particular attention to the functionalities of electrospun nanofibers obtained from supramolecular systems.
静电纺丝是一种简单、通用且便捷的制备纳米纤维的技术，在生物医学工程、表面材料和催化等领域有广泛的应用。尽管已经取得了巨大的成就，但静电纺丝化合物仍然仅限于使用具有高分子量的聚合物，而高分子量聚合物被认为是制备纳米纤维不可或缺的元素。人们发现，基于超分子体系的静电纺丝化学品可以避免使用高分子量聚合物，这是一种新兴的生成纳米级纤维的强大途径。在静电纺丝过程中，存在的强分子间相互作用作为链缠结，允许纳米纤维的形成。本文综述了静电纺丝与超分子化学相结合在制备纳米纤维方面的最新进展，这使得制备定制纳米纤维变得更加容易。本文将重点介绍由磷脂、表面活性剂、冠醚衍生物以及环糊精等组成的静电纺丝超分子体系。此外，我们将特别关注从超分子体系中获得的静电纺丝纳米纤维的功能。
