fibers share similar hierarchical structures, the difference in inter-nanofibril interaction strength and nanofibril architecture results in distinct performance. Specifically,
within the framework of the crystallization of SF molecules and network formation
mechanism of SF materials, an increase in the crystallinity and a better alignment
of β-crystallites will correspondingly result in stronger materials. The knowledge
obtained in this chapter will shed light on the preparation of ultra-high-performance
SF materials from crystallization and structural points of view.
