fibrozige
Fibrozige is a term used in materials science to describe a class of fibrous gel networks composed of reinforcing fibers embedded in a viscoelastic matrix. It denotes materials that combine high stiffness along the fiber direction with a compliant, often water-rich or polymer-rich matrix, producing anisotropic mechanical properties suitable for load-bearing and deformation damping.
The network typically consists of micron- to nano-scale fibers with a high aspect ratio, distributed within
Fabrication and formation methods for fibrozige-like networks include electrospinning, wet spinning of reinforcing elements within a
Applications and potential use areas include lightweight polymer composites with directional stiffness, flexible electronics substrates, tissue
Research on fibrozige is there for conceptual and exploratory purposes, with limited standardization of terminology. Current
