dc.description.abstract	Alginate has been a material of choice for a spectrum of applications, ranging from metal adsorption to wound dressing. Electrospinning has added a new dimension to polymeric materials, including alginate, which can be processed to their nanosize levels in order to aﬀord unique nanostructured materials with fascinating properties. The resulting nanostructured materials often feature high porosity, stability, permeability, and a large surface-to-volume ratio. In the present review, recent trends on electrospun alginate nanoﬁbers from over the past 10 years toward advanced applications are discussed. The application of electrospun alginate nanoﬁbers invarious ﬁelds such as bioremediation, scaﬀolds for skin tissue engineering, drug delivery, and sensors are also elucidated	en_US
