Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement of science and technology, the application development of micro and nano fibers has been intensified. When the fiber diameter reaches the micro- and/or nanoscale, it has the properties of huge specific surface area, very small pore size, very high porosity, and good mechanical properties. Additionally, micro- and nanofibers have some special properties of nanomaterials, such as special optical, electrical, thermal, magnetic and mechanical properties, which make them have great potential to be used in nano electronic devices, nanocomposites, sensors, supercapacitors, catalyst carriers, blue-light emitters and other fields. Nowadays, more and more attention has been paid on the fabrication, microstuructures and funcational application of micro and nanofibers. Advanced preparation methods can effectively control the microstructure of micro and nanofibers and improve the preparation efficiency. The well-designed microstructures of nanofibers can enhance materials properties with special functionalities. In addition, nanofiber materials also have advantages in functional devices: they can realize both information connection and transportation in the nanoscale and their own quantum characteristics. Therefore, research on micro- and nanofibers and their related application has become one of the most active development directions in the current scientific and technological field.

This Special Issue focused on the current state of the art in the preparation, properties and application of micro- and nanofibers. It aims to attract both academic and industrial researchers in order to foster the current knowledge of micro- and nanofibers and to present new ideas for future applications and new technologies. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on micro and nanofibers.

Emerging fiber aerogels with excellent mechanical properties are considered as promising thermal insulation materials. However, their applications in extreme environments are hindered by unsatisfactory high-temperature thermal insulation properties resulting from severely increased radiative heat transfer. Here, numerical simulations are innovatively employed for structural design of fiber aerogels, demonstrating that adding SiC opacifiers to directionally arranged ZrO2 fiber aerogels (SZFAs) can substantially reduce high-temperature thermal conductivity. As expected, SZFAs obtained by directional freeze-drying technique demonstrate far superior high-temperature thermal insulation performance over existing ZrO2-based fiber aerogels, with a thermal conductivity of only 0.0663 W·m−1·K−1 at 1000 °C. Furthermore, SZFAs also exhibit excellent comprehensive properties, including ultralow density (6.24–37.25 mg·cm−3), superior elasticity (500 compression cycles at 60% strain) and outstanding heat resistance (up to 1200 °C). The birth of SZFAs provides theoretical guidance and simple construction methods for the fabrication of fiber aerogels with excellent high-temperature thermal insulation properties used for extreme conditions.

One-dimensional silicon carbide (SiC) nanomaterials hold great promise for a series of applications, such as nanoelectronic devices, sensors, supercapacitors, and catalyst carriers, attributed to their unique electrical, mechanical, and physicochemical properties. Recent progress in their design and fabrication has led to a deep understanding of the structural evolution and structure–property correlation. Several unique attributes, such as high electron mobility, offer SiC nanomaterials an opportunity in the design of SiC-based sensors with high sensitivity. In this review, a brief introduction to the structure and properties of SiC is first presented, and the latest progress in design and fabrication of one-dimensional SiC nanomaterials is summarized. Then, the sensing applications of one-dimensional SiC nanomaterials are reviewed. Finally, our perspectives on the important research direction and future opportunities of one-dimensional SiC nanomaterial for sensors are proposed. Full article
