Blending of free homopolymer molecules to the polymer tethered silica hybrid systematically alters the viscoelastic response and most clearly observed in the low-frequency response of G and The low frequency plateau value of G decreases with increasing homopolymer content and liquid-like behavior is observed for the blend with 20% silica hybrid material. This is also manifested as a low-frequency Newtonian type behavior for the complex viscosity, p, which becomes independent of frequency for the 20 % silica hybrid blend. On the other hand, the viscosity for the blends with higher hybrid concentration demonstrated a strong power-law behavior at low frequencies, consistent with the solid-like modulus behavior described in Figure 3a.

Materials chemistry makes a distinction between two types of hybrids blends or alloys versus composites, where in the latter it is possible to distinguish at least two separate phases (in addition to the void fraction). In sol-gel science, the distinction between the... 

A wide range of polymers from solution, sol-gel suspension, or melt can be electrospun into nanofibres. To date, over 200 types of various materials including natural polymers, synthetic polymers and hybrid blends have been used to obtain electrospun fibres [36]. Due to the practicality, mouldability, flexibility, lightness, durability and chemical and physicochemical stability, natural polymers are more preferable to synthetic polymers. Therefore, four major classes of biopolymers including proteins, polysaccharides, deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) and lipids as well as their derivatives have been fabricated into electrospun scaffolds [37, 38], The most popular natural polymers include chitosan, collagen, gelatin, casein, hyaluronic acids, silk protein, chitin and fibrinogen [37-43].
