However, many chemical protection membranes have limitations such as low breathability, which can cause discomfort, and poor mechanical stability. Polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSS) was investigated for chemical protection due to its ability to hinder the permeation of organic agents while allowing water vapor to pass through. Cross-linked PSS was filled into the open pores of polypropylene nonwoven membrane supports, and the resultant PSS-filled nonwoven composite membranes have improved mechanical properties and reduced vapor permeation for simulants of sarin, soman, VX, and mustard gas. At the same time, these PSS-filled nonwoven membranes retain high water vapor permeation that is beneficial for reducing heat exhaustion. PSS-filled nonwoven membranes were also hot-pressed to further reduce the membrane thickness and vapor permeation, and to improve the mechanical properties. Results show that hot-pressed PSS-filled nonwoven membranes are mechanically strong and have lower CWA simulant vapor permeation and higher water vs. CWA simulant selectivity than commercially available Nafion®. Therefore, PSS-filled nonwoven membranes are promising candidate materials for chemical vapor protective applications.}, number={1-2}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEMBRANE SCIENCE}, author={Jung, Kyung-Hye and Pourdeyhimi, Behnam and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2010}, month={Oct}, pages={137–142} }

For example, poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS) membranes have high water permeability, and at the same time, they can block some harmful chemicals. However, PAMPS membranes are mechanically weak and their vapor selectivities need to be further improved for practical chemical protection. In this study, nonwoven fabrics were employed as the structural host to enhance both the mechanical properties and functionality of PAMPS membranes. PAMPS-filled nonwoven membranes were prepared by filling the open pores of polypropylene nonwovens with linear and cross-linked PAMPS materials, respectively. It was found that PAMPS-filled nonwoven membranes showed improved tensile properties, reduced vapor permeability, and increased selectivity, and the resultant PAMPS-filled nonwoven membranes are promising material candidates for chemical protection applications.}, number={1-2}, journal={JOURNAL OF MEMBRANE SCIENCE}, author={Jung, Kyung-Hye and Ji, Liwen and Pourdeyhimi, Behnam and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2010}, month={Sep}, pages={63–70} }

 nanoparticle-incorporated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are prepared using the electrospinning method and Si-filled carbon (Si/C) fibers are obtained by the subsequent heat treatment of these Si/PAN fibers. Their microstructures are characterized by various analytical techniques. It is found that Si nanoparticles are distributed both inside and on the surface of PAN fibers and this is preserved after the formation of Si/C fibers. The crystal structure characterization indicates that, in Si/C fibers, Si nanoparticles exist in a crystalline state while carbon is in a predominantly amorphous or disordered form. Si/C fibers show high reversible capacity and good capacity retention when tested as anodes in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The excellent electrochemical performance of these fibers can be ascribed to the combined contributions of carbon matrices and Si nanoparticles, and the favorable textures and surface properties of the Si/C fibers.}, number={28}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY}, author={Ji, Liwen and Jung, Kyung-Hye and Medford, Andrew J. and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2009}, month={Jul}, pages={4992–4997} }
