Tuning hierarchically aligned structures for high-strength PMIA–MWCNT hybrid nanofibers

Abstract
Novel hierarchically aligned PMIA–MWCNT hybrid nanofibers with a robust tensile strength of 316.7 MPa were prepared by a facile electrospinning process. The critical roles of humidity and MWCNT contents in tuning hierarchically aligned structures were first proposed, and a two-step break mechanism upon external stress was confirmed.
