Healthcare Regenerative medicine, wound treatment, drug delivery system Environmental engineering Water filter, dust filter, face mask Functional goods Functional clothes, functional food Electronic materials Battery materials, high conductivity materials, transparent conductive film Healthcare Japanese ministry of economy and industry reports that the market size of goods related to regenerative medicine is presumed to be USD150billion worldwide and USD13billion in Japan. On the other hand a sales record of such products approved by FDA is USD 1billion in 2012 in U.S.A., a leading country in industrializing regenaratve medicine. One of the applications is the artificial blood vessels made by Tokyo Denki University shown in Fig. 6. The group of Prof. Funakubo is developing artificial blood vessels and organs in the field of regenerative medicine.   The group is reportedly making experiments to implant artificial blood vessels in rats’ bodies. In such research use of nanofibers is thought to be advantageous in manufacturing 3D structures and scaffold materials of cells. Other than the field of regenerative medicine applications are being developed in wound treatment, drug delivery system and dosage form.
