Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Graphene oxide sheets get anisotropically crumpled and oriented by radial and shear forces in fast‐thinning electrospun jets. <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">On page 5763</ext-link>, Y. Dzenis and co‐workers demonstrate that a small fraction of these nanoparticles in polyacrylonitrile precursor nanofibers can produce global improvements of the graphitic order and orientation in the resulting carbon nanofilaments. Such a templating methodology utilizing low‐cost constituents, efficient top‐down nanomanufacturing, and relatively low carbonization temperatures may lead to inexpensive continuous carbon nanofibers with improved mechanical and transport properties.
