Aerogels are highly porous structures produced by replacing the liquid solvent of a gel with
air without causing the collapse of the solid network. Recently, 1D polymer nanofibers have …

The significant upsurge in the demand for freshwater has prompted various developments
towards water sustainability. In this context, several materials have gained remarkable …

The frequent occurrence of crude oil leakage accidents and the massive discharge of
industrial oily wastewater not only caused huge damage and pollution to the ecosystem but …

Aerogels with both high elastic strain and fast shape recovery after compression have broad
application potentials as thermal regulation, absorbents, and electrical devices. However …

High-performance flexible strain and pressure sensors are important components of the
systems for human motion detection, human–machine interaction, soft robotics, electronic …

The threat of environmental pollution caused by spilled oil is rapidly increasing along with
the expansion of oil exploration, the development of maritime activities and industrial growth …

Crude oil leakage from tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, causing severe
pollution to the environment has led to irreversible damage to ocean habitat and inhabitants …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) monolithic structures (ie, aerogels/sponges/scaffolds)
assembled from fragmented electrospun nanofiber mats/membranes represent an emerging …

Oil spills and the emission of oily wastewater have triggered serious water pollution and
environment problems. Effectively separating oil and water is a world-wide challenge and …

A relatively low compressive strength significantly limits the practical application of sponges
made from electrospun fibers because of an ultralow density< 10 mg/cm3. To solve this …
