Abstract
Starch is an emerging polymer in biomedical research area due to its ease of availability, low- cost and biological values. Starch polymer has been used as powder and film in applications such as tissue engineering and hemostatic application. Starch in fibrous form is very difficult to produce due to the branched amylopectin structure. With the advent of electrospinning fibrous form of starch is attempted by various researchers. The present paper reports comprehensive review of attempts made on electrospinning of starch and its potential applications in biomedical and tissue engineering.
