Electrospun nanofibers have unique characteristics like high aspect ratio, surface area, easy processability, and scaling-up ability that make them attractive candidates as reinforcements. Here we report on facile in-situ fabrication method of nanofiber-reinforced polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites. Electrospun nylon six nanofibers are embedded randomly in PDMS matrix to achieve high mechanical properties, optical transparency, and flexibility. The fabricated electrospun nylon nanofiber-reinforced PDMS nanocomposite exhibits improved mechanical strength compared to the reference PDMS, and it can be utilized in soft electronic devices such as electrolytes and separators for batteries and insulating/passivation layers, wearable electronic devices, microfluidic devices, and epidermal electronics.
