Growing nano-petals on electrospun micro/nano fibers†
Abstract
Novel architectures: growing petals on micro/nano fibers were fabricated via combining electrospinning with solvent-induced self-assembly. The size and morphology of nanoflowers grown on fibers can be well controlled by solvent, hyperbranched degree and surfactant. Furthermore, these nanoflowers-like micro/nano fibers treated in ethanol indicate stronger fluorescent properties.
