Xianfeng Wang, Bin Ding, and co‐authors design a nonwoven/polyacrylonitrile‐SiO 2 nanofiber dual‐layer membrane with high wettability gradient in article number 1700062 . The developed fibrous membrane offers an excellent moisture management performance with an outstanding one‐way transport capacity (1413%), excellent overall moisture management capacity (0.99), and a superior breathability (water vapor transfer rate of 12.73 Kg m −2 d −1 ), indicating a potential candidate for faster sweat release applications (e.g. sportswear, footwear and workwear).
