Abstract
In this study, the concept of nano-fibrous materials is proposed. The final objective of this study is to try to find a scientific principle for applying nano-fibrous materials (NFMs) to end-uses. Shape effect functions of NFMs are analyzed. A classification of NFMs is also proposed. Analysis on relationship among applications, materials and shape effect functions of NFMs is carried out based on the classification. Based on the above classification and the above analyses, discussion on the application potential of major NFMs is carried out.
