Advantages and disadvantages of nanofibers as drug-carrying agents [
43,
44].
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| High surface-to-volume ratio accelerates drug solubility in the aqueous environment and improves drug efficiency. | Scaffolds of nanofibers might be used as templates for the formation of conductive drug-loaded polymer systems. | Surface structure and morphologies of nanofibers make it possible to curb the drug dose and the rate at which the drug is released. | Production of nanofibers requires the use of organic solvents and it is impossible to control the 3-dimensional pore structure. | Bioactivity of the drug is maintained because biodegradable polymers shield the drug from corrosive attack by enzymes and gastric acid. | ā |
