In this work, ultrathin free-standing electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) nanofibrous mats are realized through the use of 1,3-diaminopropane as the chemical cross-linking agent. The cross-linking reaction occurs within the nanofibers as well as between the nan...
