Blow-Spun PVDF Nanofiber Mats Get Strength Boost From Clay Up to a Critical Limit

Researchers in Brazil have shown that a fast, low-cost fiber fabrication technique can turn a common fluoropolymer into tough, water-repellent nanocomposite mats—but only up to a sharply defined tipping point. By blending montmorillonite clay into poly(vinylidene fluoride), or PVDF, and spinning the mixture into micro- and nanofibers with a method known as Solution Blow Spinning, […]
