Electrospinning， as a nanofiber fabrication technology， has attracted more and more attention. A few literatures for fabrication of curcumin encapsulated nanofiber or nanoparticles has been reported in recent years. The review will introduce the principle and affecting factors of electrospinning and fabrication of curcumin encapsulated nanoparticles. The fabrication of curcumin encapsulated nanofibers will be summarized in the aspect of electrospinning methods and electrospinning materials (synthetic polymer and biopolymer). At last， the application of curcumin encapsulated nanofibers on controlled delivery， tissue engineering， active package， and nano sensor will be discussed.
