We have explored a straightforward approach for achieving water-resistant properties of the electrospun PVA nanofibers. The electrospun PVA nanofibers are post-treated with a hydrophobic polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) hybrid macromer via a direct urethane reaction between the hydroxyl group of PVA and the isocy…
