“…Owing to their intrinsic self-assembling behavior at the nanoscale, BCPs are of interest for a range of applications. Combining BCPs (with their ability to create nanosized domains) and electrospinning (with its ability to create nanosized fibers) allows one to create nanostructured non-woven veils or films with a high surface-to-volume ratio to deliver higher efficiencies for applications like biomaterials, separation membranes, sensors, and electronic materials [96]. Kapllani et al fabricated electrospun conjugated diblock copolymer nanofibers.…”

“…As it has been already mentioned, a prototypal electrospinning system consists of four main parts including the high-voltage supplier, the syringe pump for injecting the dope solution into the needle, a needle (in the needle-based electrospinning system), and the metal collector [86]. In electrospinning, a solution jet that elongated under high-voltage electrical field forms the nanofibers.…”

Nanofibrous structures offer a lot of fascinating features due to large specific surface area. This makes them promising for a wide range of applications, most specifically water treatment. This new generation of highly porous membranes exhibits great prospect to be used in various separation applications due to their distinguished features such as remarkably high porosity (≥90%) and interconnected 3D pore structure. As compared with the conventional techniques, Electrospinning has been highlighted for developing unique porous membranes. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes have been more and more investigated to a lot of advanced water treatment purposes. This chapter reviews the updates on electrospun nanofibrous membranes with a particular prominence in recent accomplishments, bottlenecks, and future perspectives in water treatment. To start, the basic principles of electrospinning are discussed. Next, past and recent efforts for fabricating electrospun MF membranes for various applications are reviewed. The application of electrospun nanofibers as the scaffold for TFC (thin-film composite) membranes in the pressure-and osmotic-membrane processes is then introduced. The new application of electrospun nanofibrous membranes for the thermally-driven MD (membrane distillation) process for water treatment as well as strategies for performance enhancement is discussed. To finish, conclusions and perspectives are stated according to recent developments.

“…More information on the recent progress of the 3D nanofabrication techniques mentioned above can be found in the literature [13,30,51,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68]. Figure 3 shows the representative examples of polymer templates with a regular or irregular 3D nanonetwork structure fabricated by the above 3D nanofabrication techniques, including electrospinning, BCL, DLW, MBIL, and PnP.…”

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a unique tool for conformally depositing inorganic thin films with precisely controlled thickness at nanoscale. Recently, ALD has been used in the manufacture of inorganic thin films using a three-dimensional (3D) nanonetwork structure made of polymer as a template, which is pre-formed by advanced 3D nanofabrication techniques such as electrospinning, block-copolymer (BCP) lithography, direct laser writing (DLW), multibeam interference lithography (MBIL), and phase-mask interference lithography (PMIL). The key technical requirement of this polymer template-assisted ALD is to perform the deposition process at a lower temperature, preserving the nanostructure of the polymer template during the deposition process. This review focuses on the successful cases of conformal deposition of inorganic thin films on 3D polymer nanonetworks using thermal ALD or plasma-enhanced ALD at temperatures below 200 °C. Recent applications and prospects of nanostructured polymer–inorganic composites or hollow inorganic materials are also discussed.
