Abstract: Three-dimensional nanofibrous aerogels (NFAs) that are both highly compressible and resilient would have broad technological implications for areas ranging from electrical devices and bioengineering to damping materials; however, creating such NFAs has proven extremely challenging. Here we report a novel strategy to create fibrous, isotropically bonded elastic reconstructed (FIBER) NFAs with a hierarchical cellular structure and superelasticity by combining electrospun nanofibres and the fibrous freeze-shaping… Show more

“…Remarkably, the pore morphologies of the sponge featured hierarchical order for reasons currently not yet understood, but which could account to the surprisingly good reversible compressibility and bendability, given their low densities, which was also confi rmed by the recent contribution of Ding et al [ 33 ] The mechanical properties of the novel polymer sponges close an important gap in an Ashby plot of compressibility versus density. It should not remain unmentioned that the compressive strength of the sponge could be tailored with negligible loss in porosity by several coating techniques which are presently under investigation in our lab.…”

“…The nanofibrous separation membrane was fabricated using the commercially available fluoro-containing polymer poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) 31 via a simple electrospinning method [32][33][34][35] in which 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane (PFDTMS) was doped as a regulator for tuning of the oleophobicity of the membrane. Figure 1 demonstrates the fabrication and separation process of the membrane.…”

“…During the cyclic compression strain of up to 50%, a 70% decrease of normalized resistance (termed negative piezoresistive behavior) was observed together with good recoverability and reversibility. 35 In our previous research, porous CNTs/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites with a density of approximately 0.1 g cm…”
