Cross-linking and trimethylsilylation successfully block off the hydrophilic NH and OH groups in chitosan nanofibers to produce a waterproof nanofibrous aerogel while keeping its nanoscale structural homogeneity intact. The unique microstructure of a three-dimensionally entangled nanofiber network exhibiting a combination of translucency, hydrophobicity, and non-brittleness is described.
交联和三甲硅烷基化成功地封闭了壳聚糖纳米纤维中的亲水性 NH 和 OH 基团,从而在保持纳米级结构均一性的同时,制备出了防水纳米纤维气凝胶。描述了具有透明度、疏水性和非脆性的三维缠结纳米纤维网络的独特微观结构。
