The silk fibroin nanofibres membrane fabricated by electrospinning has large surface specific area
high prosity
biocompatibility
etc. Therefore
it is widely investigated at home and abroad. This article mainly reviews the development on fabrication silk fibroin nanofibres by electrospinning method. The emphasis is focused on the preparation of pure silk fibroin nanofibres and silk fibroin composite nanofibres using different solvent. The potential applications for these nanofibres have also been expected.
