Self-sorting multi-scale materials by self-assembling multi-component nanostructured gels in nonwoven fabrics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: 500 nm) nanofibres that reinforce one another rheologically. When assembled in a nonwoven fabric, self-sorting yields a multi-scale material with fibres on multiple length-scales. The nanofibres control the air permeability of the fabric and the smaller nanofibres enhance the robustness of the larger nanofibre network under forcing airflow conditions.
