fibersmost
Fibersmost is a term used in speculative materials science to describe a class of ultra-light, high-strength fibers assembled from multi-scale fiber networks embedded in a minimal or porous matrix. The concept envisions hierarchical organization that spans nano- to centimeter scales, with a percolating network of continuous fibers carrying most of the load, complemented by a secondary network of nano-fibers that enhance toughness and energy dissipation. The matrix is intentionally sparse to maximize fiber content while preserving processability.
Materials frameworks proposed for fibersmost include carbon, aramid, or ceramic fibers integrated with electrospun nano-fibers or
Applications imagined for fibersmost include aerospace structures, protective equipment, lightweight sporting goods, filtration membranes, and scaffold
Current status is largely conceptual or limited to early-stage laboratory demonstrations; practical scaling, defect control, and
