Nanostructured binary metal oxide-decorated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were utilized as flexible electrodes for hybrid supercapacitor applications. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/lignin based carbon nanofibers (PAN/lignin CNFs) with different contents of lignin were prepared by electrospinning, stabilization and carbonization. Afterwards, the NiCo2O4 oxides were deposited on the surface of CNFs by a facile...
In this work, a photoluminescent (PL) and transparent nanocomposite mat was demonstrated based on Nylon-6 (PA-6) nanofibers (NFs) mat, core–shell CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QD) and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymeric solution. Green and red emissive CdSe@ZnS QD was synthesized by one step approach, involving chemical composition gradient technique using standard schlenk line. Dip coating method was...
Novel photoluminescence (PL) composite nanofibers (NFs) consist of carbon qunatum dots (CQDs) and polyacrylonitrile blend with polyacrylic acid (PAN/PAA) were fabricated by the coelectrospinning process. The air-dried CQDs containing NFs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...
In this paper, we presented the fabrication of human hair derived keratin/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite nanofibers exhibiting high optical transmittance by using simple and versatile electrospinnig technique. Keratin was extracted from human hair by sulphitolysis process and glyoxal solution was used as crosslinking agent in the system. More interestingly, the high optical transmittance (∼88% at a...
The role of lactic acid (LA) on the polymer crystallization chain conformation and the surface modification of the electrospun nylon-6 fibers were examined. The effect of different amounts of LA on the polymer crystallization chain conformation of nylon-6 mat was evaluated using XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy whereas the surface modification of the electrospun mats was examined by FE-SEM, contact...
A novel approach to simultaneously improve the physical mechanical properties and tune the biodegradation of polycaprolactone (PCL)-based composites is presented. The viability of electrospun fibers as fillers for polymer nanocomposites is shown. Nylon was chosen as the reinforcing material, whereas polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) was selected to calibrate the biodegradation rate. Nylon fibers were effective...
Electrospun nanofibers are promising candidates in the nanotechnological applications due to the advantages of the nanofibrous morphology. Therefore, many attempts were reported to modify the electrospun mats to gain more beneficial properties. In the present study, we are introducing a strategy to synthesize electrospun polymeric nanofiber mats containing spider-net binding the main nanofibers. Addition...
Nanofibrous mats were prepared by electrospinning of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) with diameter ranging from 200 to 600 nm. Morphology of electrospun nanofiber obtained by changing processing parameters such as solution concentration and their deposition time, was investigated with scanning electron microscope (SEM). Especially, periodic feature of surface roughness, such as diamond-shaped...
