Abstract

Transparent sheets of epoxy resin reinforced with nylon-4,6 nanofibers are described. The 30–200 nm diameter fibers, obtained by electrospinning from formic acid solutions, are reported to provide significant improvement in strength and stiffness to the epoxy film. The Figure is a scanning electron microscopy image of the electrospun nanofibers.
