A General Strategy to Fabricate Flexible Oxide Ceramic Nanofibers with Gradient Bending-Resilience Properties

Xiao Wang et al.

Summary: Inorganic materials assembled with rigid elements like crystals or graphitized carbon typically exhibit brittleness and hardness. However, TiO2 ceramic crystal nanofibers and carbon nanofibers demonstrate superior flexibility, with carbon fibers possessing bending resilience and TiO2 fibers being surprisingly knottable. By combining these two constituents, composite nanofibers with varying flexure mechanisms are fabricated, revealing how the addition of carbon enhances resilience while increasing TiO2 content softens the composite nanofibers. This study provides insight into the mechanical properties of inorganic materials.
