摘要

This review maps how pore architecture (surface

internal

hollow

hierarchical) can be programmed in polymer fibers

via

electrospinning

phase separation

foaming

templating and 3D forming. It links structure-property-function to enable fast mass/charge transport for environmental remediation

energy storage

biomedicine

smart textiles and multifunctional composites.

Abstract

Porous polymer fibers

which integrate polymer flexibility with high surface area and tunable porosity

represent a burgeoning class of functional materials. Unlike previous reviews that focused on electrospun porous fibers or porous materials used for specific energy/separation functions

this review focuses on fibers and systematically explores their controllable synthesis from a cross-process perspective. These include electrospinning-assisted pore-forming techniques

phase separation

template processing

3D printing

and key structure-function relationships that determine their properties. Key applications include environmental remediation (filtration and adsorption)

energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors)

biomedical engineering (tissue scaffolds and drug delivery)

and advanced smart textiles. This further highlights emerging trends toward smart/wearable integration and the hybridization of porous fibers with advanced porous frameworks and conductive components. This review is expected to provide a viable research direction for porous polymer fibers.
