Nanofibre Web Coatings Based on Nano-Spider (NS) Technology |
![]() This chapter covers various aspects of nanofibre web coatings: fundamental theories, principles and operational process of Nanospider (NS) technology, experimental results, characterization methods and commercial applications. The concept of integration of nanofibre webs in defence protective textiles (DPTs), and research at the Defence Materials & Stores Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), DRDO, Kanpur, on nanofibre coated web technology are highlighted. This research has revealed that NS technology is promising for the development of lighter weight functional fabrics with enhanced comfort, particularly for military clothing and equipment. |

A comparative fractographic analysis for the effect of polymeric nanofiber reinforcements on the tensile behavior of multi-layered epoxy nanocomposites
This study presents a comparative investigation into the effects of four different nanofibers—PA66, PStX, PAN, and PVB—on the mechanical performance and failure mechanisms of epoxy adhesive films. These nanofiber‐reinforced adhesive layers were manufactured via a dry‐reinforcement resin film infusion method and tested under uniaxial tensile loading. Mechanical results showed that PA66 and PStX nanofibers improved tensile strength by up to 25%, primarily by mitigating crack initiation at free edges and promoting effective fiber–matrix bonding. In contrast, PAN nanofibers induced micro‐cracks at the fiber–resin interface, amplifying crack coalescence and reducing strength by 25%. 03/01/2025
