Abstract Nanomaterials together with nanotechnologies bring everyday challenges to modern material science and allow scientists worldwide to develop completely new types of unique materials having extraordinary properties. Although interest in hybrid organic-inorganic organosilane fibrous nanomaterials is rising, there is no review covering and completing the knowledge. Herein, organo-mono-silylated and organo-bis-silylated precursors were studied in detail, and synthetic strategies and outcomes were successfully applied for the formation of organosilane fibers using various different techniques such as self-assembly, drawing, and in particular electrospinning. The presented findings are closely connected to the application potential, and show the promising prospects of these hybrid organosilane fibers in various fields of modern science and everyday life, covering optoelectronics, sensors, catalysis, energetics, filtration and medicine.
