This paper provides a comprehensive overview on the properties of electrospun nanofibers
and their application as reinforcements in composites. The paper first introduces the …

Aromatic polyimides (PIs) are high-performance polymers with rigid heterocyclic imide rings
and aromatic benzene rings in their macromolecular backbones. Owing to excellent …

The application of fibrous materials can be traced back throughout human history.
Widespread adoption of polymers in the 20th century has rapidly driven the development of …

We report on the synthesis of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)–silica hybrid nanofibers via sol–gel
electrospinning. Silica is synthesized through acid catalysis of a silica precursor (tetraethyl …

The practical applications of transition metal oxides and hydroxides for supercapacitors are
restricted by their intrinsic poor conductivity, large volumetric expansion, and rapid …

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used polymer, not only in industry, but also in our daily
life. PVC is a material that can be applied in many different fields, such as building and …

High performance epoxy composites are highly required in many applications. In this work,
polyimide electrospun nanofibers (PIENFs) with excellent thermal and mechanical …

Biomedical applications such as wound dressing for skin regeneration, stem cell
transplantation, or drug delivery require special demands on the three‐dimensional porous …

A simple and efficient method has been developed for preparing hierarchical nanostructures
of polyimide (PI)/ZnO fibers by combining electrospinning and direct ion-exchange process …

Electrospun polyimide (PI) nanofibers possessed high tensile strength (δ), but the breaking
load (BL) is very small. It is also a challenge to prepare electrospun PI microfibers from the …
