“…To avoid this, acetic acid is usually added in certain proportion to maximize the solution stability, as in case of copper acetate-PVA combination for producing copper NWs. 37 This causes an increase in the acetate ion concentration shifting the equilibrium in backward direction. Acetic acid has also been found very beneficial for precursor stability in several other electrospinning attempts for producing niobium oxide, 77 titania, 78 and barium titanate 79 nanofibers.…”

“…The first successful attempt to synthesize metallic NW via electrospinning was made by Bognitzki et al 33 Copper NWs with average diameter of 270 nm were fabricated using the above mentioned procedure. Wu et al 34 37 have carried out a much comprehensive work on the fabrication of Cu, Fe, Ni, and Co NWs having diameters 100 to 200 nm. Table I summarizes the important aspects of the work done so far related to electrospinning of metallic NWs.…”

“…For example, highly imperfect crystalline structure and surface of the NWs have been reported to be the major reasons for their lower magnetization and conductivity. [33][34][35]37 Therefore, it is important to develop the NWs with fine and highly oriented crystalline structure to overcome these issues. This will be dependent upon not only the electrospinning parameters but also the precursor composition and the post heat treatment of composite wires which is done for selective removal of polymer and oxygen.…”

“…This process is not only relatively low cost but also provides a better control over various process parameters which directly affect the physical and morphological properties of the nanofiber. So far, we found nine experimental studies [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] which are related to the synthesis of metallic NWs via electrospinning. The reported results are very encouraging in terms of the NW quality and properties.…”

Metals are known to have unique thermal, mechanical, electrical, and catalytic properties. On the other hand, metallic nanowires are promising materials for variety of applications such as transparent conductive film for photovoltaic devices, electrodes for batteries, as well as nano-reinforcement for composite materials. Whereas varieties of methods have been explored to synthesize metal nanowires with different characteristics, electrospinning has also been found to be successful for that purpose. Even though electrospinning of polymeric nanofibers is a well-established field, there are several challenges that need to be overcome to use the electrospinning technique for the fabrication of metallic nanowires. These challenges are mainly related to the multi-steps fabrication process and its relation to the structure evolution of the nanowires. In addition to reviewing the literature, this article identifies promising avenues for further research in this area with particular emphasis on the applications that nonwoven metal wires confined in a nano-scale can open.

Impact of Overlapping Collector on Orientated Deposition of Electrospun Nanofibers

Standard electrospinning deposits disorderly nanofibers on a conducting collector owing to unstable whipping of the jet. Nevertheless, biological engineering requires orderly electrospun nanofibers to improve mechanical properties and cellular proliferation. An attempt is made to fabricate well-orientated nanofibers by applying an overlapping collector. It turns out that electrospinning deposits random and disorderly nanofibers as usual even if conducting aluminum foil, as a collector, overlaps insulating poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film. When insulating PET film overlapping aluminum foil is applied as a collector, the PET film accumulates ions to repel the whipping filament in the space while nonoverlapping aluminum foil attracts the filament such that electrospinning deposits orientated nanofibers on the insulating PET film.

Surface hydrophobicity has served as a core means for governing the spatial behaviors of numerous substances depending on their affinities to oil or aqueous phases. Exploiting systems that can maximize hydrophobic features contributes to the development of versatile supports capable of spatially separating, guiding, or protecting target materials in defined manners. Herein, superhydrophobic, reversibly elastic, moldable, and electrospun (SupREME) fibers, which exhibit multimodal functions for arranging spatial responses of substances with distinct affinities to oil phases, are fabricated by coaxially electrospinning polysulfone and poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS), followed by a thermal process. The exterior PSF layers enable volumetric expansion of the fibers, further reinforcing the overall superhydrophobicity (contact angles >150°). The elastic core PGS networks confer reversibly compressible properties (>100 cycles) to the fibers, ultimately enhancing their hydrophobic performance and extending their durability. The SupREME fibers demonstrate superiorities as absorbents for selectively separating oilbased substances, sealants for blocking the leakage of aqueous fluids, and adjuvants for temporarily enhancing the local residence of drugs by repelling ambient fluidic environments. The SupREME fibers can be versatile platforms in many applications that require the spatial regulation of specific substances with affinities to oil or water phases, ranging from environmental industries to medical fields.
