Microstructural evolution of electrospun microfibers for biomedical applications by Chandler, A

“…The filaments were characterized at both the fiber and molecular levels. At the fiber level, micro-computed tomography (µCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that stretching caused alignment, thinning, and coalescence of the fibers. …”

Investigation of charge transport in nanofiber based solar cells by Sabba Dharani

“…High molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer when mixed in to the titanium sol-gel precursor solution results in the formation of electrospun fibers with nanofibrillar morphology. This work focuses on the integration of as-spun nanofibrous films with intact fiber morphology as photoanodes in dye-sensitized/perovskite solar cells. …”

Electrospun fibrous aerogels for air filtration by Tng, Zi Kang

“…The aerogel filters were prepared by unidirectional freezing of homogenized suspension of PI and PAN/ZIF-8 fibers. The ice crystals in the frozen aerogels were subsequently removed by sublimation during the freeze-drying process, which was then followed by a thermal imidisation treatment up to 300 ºC. …”
