This research deals with the process of water desalination, involving an experimental design used to study a new prototype of a solar membrane distillation plant based on the weather conditions of Kairouan City, Tunisia. In this experiment, the pilot is left autonomous with the sun as the only source of energy. The operating process of a desalination plant consists of solar energy provided by the sun using solar energy collectors, which provide energy through their photovoltaic panels for heating brackish water.

Over the last twenty years, researchers have focused on the potential applications of electrospinning, especially its scalability and versatility. Specifically, electrospun nanofiber scaffolds are considered an emergent technology and a promising approach that can be applied to biosensing, drug delivery, soft and hard tissue repair and regeneration, and wound healing. Several parameters control the functional scaffolds, such as fiber geometrical characteristics and alignment, architecture, etc.
