Cellulose nanocrystals as a reinforcing material for electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate) fibers: Formation, properties and nanomechanical characterization (2012, methodology): “…electrospun polymer fibers, nanofillers such as nanoclays (Li, Bellan, Craighead, & Frey, 2006) and carbon nanotubes (Chen, Liu, Zhou, Tjiu, & Hou, 2009; Hou et al., 2005; Ko et al., 2003) have been introduced into polymer solutions prior to electrospinning, and nanocomposite fibers were generated.”
Increasing strength of electrospun nanofiber membranes for water filtration using solvent vapor (2013, background): “For instance, the tensile strength of the polyacrylontrile (PAN) ENM is about 10–100 times lower than that of the traditional fiber [11], limiting their use in filtration.”
Magnetically processed carbon nanotube/epoxy nanocomposites: Morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties (2010, background): “The intense interest in thesematerials stems from the fact that carbonnanotubes possess excellentmechanical properties, good electrical and thermal conductivity [2–17].”
