TY - JOUR T1 - Multifunctional Composite Nanofibers JO - Journal of Fiber Bioengineering and Informatics VL - 2 SP - 129 EP - 138 PY - 2013 DA - 2013/06 SN - 6 DO - http://doi.org/10.3993/jfbi06201302 UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jfbi/4828.html KW - Functional Materials KW - Nanofibers KW - Co-electrospinning KW - Nanocomposite KW - Lignin Nanofiber AB - Multi-functional fibrous materials are a new family of fiber materials whose physical and chemical properties are sensitive to the change in the environment such as temperature, pressure, electric field, magnetic field, optical wavelength, adsorbed gas molecules and the pH value. This paper introduces a new approach to translate functions from nanoparticles to advanced fibrous structures by co-electrospinning of composite nanofibers. To illustrate this composite nanofiber concept an example of nanofibers that have tailorable, electrical and magnetic functions is shown.
