The mechanical properties of electrospun fibers play an important role in determining their
applications. Most of the reported literature measures the mechanical properties of …

Electrospinning is a highly versatile method to process solutions or melts, mainly of
polymers, into continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few micrometers to a few …

Discover new and emerging applications of polymer nanofibers alongside the basic
underlying science and technology. With discussions exploring such practical applications …

It is widely accepted that concentration polarization in liquid electrolytes promotes whisker
growth during metal deposition, and therefore, high salt concentration is favored. Here, we …

Over the past six decades, engineered composite materials found wide ranging applications
in land, sea and air transport vehicles, space exploration, military equipment and defense …

Uniform nylon-6 nanofibers with diameters around 200 nm were prepared by
electrospinning. Polymorphic phase transitions and crystal orientation of nylon-6 in …

We report a model of nanowire (NW) mechanics that describes force vs displacement curves
over the entire elastic range for diverse wire systems. Due to the clamped-wire …

Nanocomposite fibers of nylon-6 and an organically modified montmorillonite (O-MMT),
Cloisite-30B, were prepared by electrospinning. Dispersion and exfoliation of O-MMT in …

In this paper a range of acid aqueous solutions are studied towards their suitability for
developing chitosan nanofibres by electrospinning. It was found that parameters such as …

Young's modulus and yield strength of individual electrospun fibers of poly (trimethyl
hexamethylene terephthalamide)(PA 6 (3) T) have been obtained in uniaxial extension. The …
