Relative to many other nanofiber formation techniques, the electrospinning technique exhibits superior nanofiber formation when considering cost and manufacturing complexity for many situations. Aligned electrospun nanofibers have applications in nanocomposite structures and energy storage devices in addition to applications like air filtration, desalination, tissue engineering, textiles etc. The  specific strength and dielectric constant are important to understand mechanical and dielectric properties of electrospun fibers and tailor these properties in the field of composite and energy applications.
