Provided is a polymer nanofiber sheet having high delamination resistance, a high mechanical strength, and a high specific surface area. Specifically, provided is a polymer nanofiber sheet, including polymer nanofibers, the polymer nanofibers being laminated and three-dimensionally entangled with each other, in which: at least part of the polymer nanofibers are crosslinked at a crosslinked part having crosslinking portions and a non-crosslinking portion; and the crosslinked part contains a low-molecular weight epoxy compound having a molecular weight of from 100 to 3,000.

Porous and microporous parts prepared by additive manufacturing as disclosed herein are useful in medical and non-medical applications. The parts are prepared from a composition containing both a solvent soluble component and a solvent insoluble component. After a part is printed by an additive manufacturing process it is exposed to solvent to extract solvent soluble component away from the printed part, resulting in a part having surface cavities.

The present invention relates generally to compositions for use in biological and chemical separations, as well as other applications. More specifically, the present invention relates to hybrid felts fabricated from electrospun nanofibers with high permeance and high capacity. Such hybrid felts utilize derivatized cellulose, and at least one non-cellulose-based polymer that may be removed from the felt by subjecting it to moderately elevated temperatures and/or solvents capable of dissolving the non-cellulose-based polymer to leave behind a porous nanofiber felt having more uniform pore sizes and other enhanced properties when compared to single component nanofiber felts.

A present invention is directed to a laminated filtration media comprising a nanofiber coating applied onto a synthetic substrate. Generally, the laminated filtration media can be produced by applying the nanofiber layer onto the synthetic substrate via an electrospinning process and then thermo-mechanically bonding the nanofiber layer onto the synthetic substrate via a thermal bonding process. The laminated filtration media exhibits superior durability and can be used in a wide array of air filtration applications.

A high-stretchable high-sensitive flexible force-sensitive sensing fiber and a preparation method therefor comprising the specific preparation method is as follows: uniformly and synergistically dispersing a one-dimensional (1D) nanowire/nanotube and a two-dimensional (2D) conductive sheet layer in a thermoplastic elastomer solution; formulating a uniform dispersion solution of a certain concentration; and using a wet spinning process to prepare an elastic composite fiber with a highly oriented 1D/2D hybrid network. The above-described composite fiber is placed in a metal precursor solution to fully swell, and then placed in reductive steam for reduction, to reduce metal precursors to zero-dimensional (0D) metal nanoparticles, thereby preparing a flexible force-sensitive sensing fiber based on a 0D/1D/2D three-dimensional collaborative network.
