This research contributes new knowledge to fundamental understanding and applications of nanofibre materials made by the electrospinning technique. An innovative method was developed to visualise the fibre thinning, and the nanofibres with improved mechanical properties and controlled surface wettability were prepared. These nanofibres have shown significant potential in wound dressing application
