This chapter relates to the techniques to produce polymer nanofibers and specifically discusses one of those techniques which has been recently inves-tigated, namely Electrospinning. An overview of this technology is described, considering the work trend based on nanofiber and electrospinning publication in scientific paper and patents. Moreover, issues regarding the main process control parameters, applications of polymer nanofibers and the appropriate characteriza-tion of these nanofibers or mats are presented. Applications in cosmetic field are outlined, as well as the future perspective of the electrospinning technology in cosmetic application.
