Preliminary study on tensile properties of electrospun silica fibers/polypropylene composites
Wanakamol, P. , Boonyaratgalin, W. , Supanam, N. Abstract Composites based on silica and glass fibers conventionally contain fibers with dimension in the range of a few micrometers to millimeters. Electrospinning technique allows fabrication of fibers in the submicron length scale. With smaller dimension, these fibers when applied as reinforcement in composites may yield…
