Nanofiber technology has attracted great attention in many research and applications area because of its unique physicochemical properties and characteristics such as high surface area compared to bulk material. This property provides better cell adhesion and drug and protein loading. In addition, their fabrication from a wide range of polymers with different properties makes them excellent candidates for smart delivery systems. In this chapter, first different external stimuli-responsive nanofibers such as thermo-, magnet-, pH-, electrically-, biomolecule-, and multi-responsive are explained. Then their biomedical applications such as wound dressings, drug delivery systems, cell scaffolds, and diagnosis are discussed.
