The shish-kebab morphology in semi-crystalline polymer fibers is a key to the outstanding properties of polymer fibers. Here, we present the creation of a two-level hierarchical fiber structure by combining two recent artificial shish-kebab nanostructures: The nanohybrid shish-kebab (NHSK), i.e., a carbon nanotube (CNT) overgrown by polymer kebabs and the nanofiber shish-kebab (NFSK), i.e., an electrospun nanofiber decorated by larger lamellae crystals. We tested the hypothesis that during electrospinning of a CNT/polymer solution the NHSK can form directly and that the resulting fibers can be used to subsequently create the NFSK. The resulting nanocomposite was analyzed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy and revealed the successful creation of both the NHSK and the NFSK. Thus, for the first time, we demonstrated the creation of the NHSK morphology during electrospinning. The two-level hierarchical nanocomposite is a proof of principle that the shish-kebab morphology can be extended from the nanoscale to the macroscale which may contribute to future high strength nanocomposites.
