In this work, the effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) surface chemistry on the polymorphism behaviors of electrospun poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers collected under high extensional force and subsequently treated with supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) are investigated...
