Long-term stable organosilica nanofibrous membranes functionalised for advanced engineering applications Ghent University
Nanofibres are fibres with a diameter that is 1000 times smaller than a human hair. This makes
nanofibrous membranes very light and porous, ideally suited for advanced engineering
applications in various sectors. By adding a specific functionality (for example hydrophobic groups,
amines, thiol functions), the application field can even be extended. However, the material choice
and design are crucial for optimal ...
