We report on the preparation and electrical characterization of nylon-6 nanofibers via electrospinning technique. During electrospinning, the polymer solution became highly ionized and emerging out of the micro-tip syringe by forming mesh-like ultrafine nanofibers structure in between the main fibers. The resultant nylon-6 nanofibers were well-oriented with uniform structure. The diameter of the ultrafine nanofibers (7 to 40 nm) is one order less than those of main fibers (100 to 200 nm). The current-voltage (I-V) measurements revealed a linear curve with an occurrence of negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior. The existence of NDR region in the nylon-6 nanofibers can be attributed to the tunneling current through the ultrafine structures. The fabrication of nanofibers, in the form of ultrafine mesh-like form, is relatively fast and inexpensive, and it paves the way to build up of new dimension for nano device applications.  相似文献

In this paper, we report on the fabrication and characterization of poly(sulfone amide)/graphene (PSA/G) nonwoven based nanocomposite mat assembled via electrospinning technique. Different types of nanocomposite mats were electrospun by varying the weight percentage of graphene in the polymer solution. The surface morphologies, chemical structural, thermal, and electrical properties of the nanocomposites were evaluated systematically. The morphology of the PSA/G nanocomposites exhibited that mesh-like ultrafine nanofibers were densely aligned. Thermal stability and electrical properties of the PSA/G composites could be improved obviously with the addition of graphene. And the thickness uniformity of the nanocomposite mat was improved by using an electrospinning system. Our experimental results suggested that the PSA/G nanocomposites have potential to serve in many different applications, especially in the area of electronic components.  相似文献

This paper reports on the preparation and characterization of nanofibers and nanofiber/film composites fabricated by electrospinning and dip-coating. The polymers in this study consist of polyurethane, nylon-6, and silicone. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fiber distribution, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and tensile tests were conducted. The electrospun nylon-6 nanofiber/dip-coated silicone film (dried for 5 min) showed the optimum tensile strength and strain results, showing an increase in tensile strength of 63 % compared to pure nylon-6 nanofiber alone. XRD and FTIR verified the presence of individual polymers in the composite matrix. The electrospun PU nanofiber produced the biggest fiber diameter, while electrospun nylon-6, and PU/nylon-6 produced uniform fiber diameters, with PU/nylon-6 obtaining very random and curved fiber morphology.  相似文献

Here, a novel method is introduced to create tunable properties on the polyester fabric through diverse chemical modifications. The polyester fabric was primarily modified with NaOH or ethylenediamine to enhance the surface activity. This will produce diverse chemical groups on the polyester fabric surface including carboxylate, hydroxyl and amine groups. The fabric was treated with grahene oxide through exhaustion method. The silver nitrate was then added and simultaneously reduced with grapheme oxide using ascorbic acid and ammonia to produce reduced graphen oxide/silver nanocomposites (rGO/Ag) on the fabric surface. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by TEM and Raman spectra. The presence and uniform distribution of the nanocomposites on the fabric surface was also confirmed by SEM images and EDX patterns. The electrical resistivity was varied on the raw and modified polyester fabric due to the diverse formation of the graphene nanosheets network on the fabric surface. More Ag particles were formed on the surface of the alkali hydrolyzed polyester whereas more graphene nanosheets deposited on the aminolyzed polyester fabric. Also the hydrolyzed polyester fabric exhibited higher antibacterial properties with the lowest silver nitrate in the processing solution. The aminolyzed fabric showed a lower electrical resistance than the hydrolyzed and raw fabrics with the same amount of GO in the procedure bath. The aminolyzed polyester fabric indicated higher affinity towards GO produced higher antibacterial properties before reduction and without silver nitrate however lower electrical resistance obtained after reduction comparing with other samples.  相似文献

In this study, the morphology and crystal polymorphism of electrospun blend nanocomposite of graphene filled-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers were investigated. The preparation of the nanofibers was carried out by synthesis of PMMA/graphene as a masterbatch through in-situ polymerization, and then followed by compounding with PVDF solution in the different ratios. The process of electrospinning was done at three selective conditions of temperature, moist and ordinary environment. Crystallinity, morphology and thermal properties of nanofibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), Transmittance Electron Microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric Analyses (TGA), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FE-SEM). The enhancement of β crystal formation in the electrospun graphene-filled blend nanofibers was confirmed by XRD and DSC results. This can be ascribed by the benefits of solution casting, mechanical stretching, high electric field, PMMA interactions and graphene restrictions, altogether in one simple process. Also, presence of water molecules during the electrospinning causes the orientation of fluorine atoms in PVDF due to polar-polar interactions which enhance the polar conformation even in the pure PVDF nanofibers.  相似文献

We report a simple and effective route to fabricate branched hierarchical flower-like nanostructures of ZnO on natural cotton cellulose fiber by combining electrospinning and the low-temperature hydrothermal growth technique. First, natural cotton cellulose nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning cotton cellulose /LiCl/DMAc solution. The electrospun cotton cellulose nanofibers served as flexible substrate, on which the branched, highly uniform, and dense flower-like ZnO were hydrothermally grown. The as-prepared cotton cellulose/ZnO nanocomposite fibers were characterized by SEM, HRTEM, EDS, TG, and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The modified cotton cellulose nanocomposite fibers were not only exhibiting dispersed uniformly, but also rendered excellent protection against UV radiation because of the incorporation of flower-like ZnO nanostructures. Therefore, the as-prepared nanocomposite fibers demonstrate a significant performance in ultraviolet protection and provide a potential application for ultraviolet detection.  相似文献

Present paper reports a method of preparing polymer composite electrolyte nanofiber mat using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ammonium thiocynate (NH4SCN) salt, and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nano particles based on electrospinning technique. Two-stage process of preparation of nanofibers, namely, preparation of nano particles filled PVA electrolyte gel solution followed by its electrospinning has been used. The so obtained nanofibers have been characterized by XRD, DSC, SEM, and Conductivity measurements. XRD patterns affirm the formation of nanocomposite while SEM pictures reveal formation of fibers on a nano scale format (300–800 nm). Fibers of the electrolytes are seen to be thermally stable. Ionic conductivity of electrolyte fiber is seen to improve in the presence of nano filler at room temperature with a maximum at 5.31×10−3 Scm−1 for 4 wt% filler concentration, which is comparable to that for corresponding dried gel electrolyte films.  相似文献

In the present study, nanocomposites films formed by hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and characterized. Compared with pure hydroxyethyl cellulose film, the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composite materials were significantly improved. When the graphene loading was only 1.0 wt%, the maximum weight loss temperature increased 11.14 °C. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of HEC/GO nanocomposites films were increased by 30.28 and 75.63 % compared to the pure HEC films, with only 1.0 wt% GO. The X-ray diffraction and Fouriertransform infrared spectroscop showed that GO sheets were completely exfoliated in the HEC matrix and suggested the presence of the weak interaction between HEC and GO sheets because of large number of oxygen-containing hydrophilic functional groups on the surface and edge of GO sheets. Furthermore, the well-dispersed GO nanosheets in the films can be inferred from the SEM and Halpin-Tsai model analysis. On the other hand, the composite films showed improved barrier properties against oxygen. This simple process for preparation of HEC/GO films is attractive for potential development of high-performance films for packing applications.  相似文献

Graphene is classified as a carbon-based material. Structurally, graphene is made up of carbon-based two-dimensional atomic crystals and a one atom thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms. This sort of arrangement in graphene makes it a unique material with exceptional mechanical, physicochemical, thermal, electrical, optical, and biomedical properties. Methods for graphene-based fabric production mainly use graphene-based materials such as graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated on fabric or yarn. Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is one of the most rapidly developing and active branches of polyurethane chemistry. More and more attention is being paid to graphene-coated fabrics owing to their low temperature flexibility, the presence of zero or very few VOCs (volatile organic compounds), water resistance, pH stability, superior solvent resistance, excellent weathering resistance, and desirable chemical and mechanical properties. It is used as a coating agent or adhesive for fibers, textiles, and leather. Also, graphene-containing materials have been used to enhance the properties of WPU. In this study, graphene/WPU composite solution and film was prepared to conduct basic research for developing electrical heating textiles which is not harmful to the human body, flexible and excellent in electrical properties. Graphene/WPU composite solutions were prepared with a graphene content of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 wt%, and graphene/WPU film was prepared with solution casting method. The graphene contents were analyzed for their surface morphology, electrical properties, and electrical heating properties.  相似文献

Sericin (SS) is a protein that is secreted by silkworms, but it is usually discarded during the degumming process. To obtain and make use of the sericin, we prepared sericin/glycerol/graphene oxide nanocomposite film. The inherent brittleness of pure sericin film was improved by the addition of glycerol (Glc) as a plasticizer. To compensate for the reduced stiffness, we added graphene oxide (GO) into the SS/Glc film. At concentrations of up to 0.8 wt% relative to SS, GO dispersed evenly in the SS matrix without any agglomeration. The maximum tensile strength (9.5±0.7 MPa) and Young’s modulus (414.4±23.2 MPa) were obtained when the GO content was 0.8 wt% relative to SS. The elongation of SS/Glc/GO nanocomposite film also increased by approximately 40 % compared to SS/Glc film. The strong interfacial interaction between the SS and the GO was responsible for the increased stiffness. The increased elongation was due to the reduced crystallinity of the sericin matrix in the presence of GO.  相似文献

Easy fabrication, porosity, good mechanical properties, and composition controllable of the electrospun nanofiber mat make this material a promising candidate for wound dressing applications. In the present study, nylon6/gelatin electrospun nanofiber mats are introduced as novel wound dressing materials. The introduced mats were synthesized by electrospinning of nylon6 and gelatin mixtures, three mats containing different gelatin content were prepared; 10, 20 and 30 wt%. Interestingly, addition of the gelatin did not affect the mechanical properties of the nylon 6, moreover the mat containing 10 wt% gelatin revealed higher mechanical properties due to formation of spider-net like structure from very thin nanofibers (～10 nm diameter) bonding the main nanofibers. Biologically study indicates that gelatin incorporation strongly enhances the bioactivity performance as increasing the gelatin content linearly increases the MC3T3-E1 cell attachment. Overall, the obtained results recommend exploiting the introduced mats as wound dressing material.  相似文献

The current paper is aimed to compare different arrangement of Ag nanoparticles within silver/reduced graphene oxide (Ag/rGO) nanocomposites on the polyester fabric. rGO sheets cannot be dispersed in the water for long time however, thin layer surfactant-free Ag/rGO nanocomposites were immobilized on the surface of polyester. This leads to attain the preserved array of nanocomposites for a long time. TEM, FESEM/EDX, XRD, XPS, cyclic voltammetry, catalytic activity and electrical resistivity were used to characterize Ag/rGO nanocomposites coated polyester fabric. Interestingly, sonoimmobilization of Ag/GO produced an even coating layer of nanocomposites on the polyester fabric. The prepared fabric can be used as a high active and stable nanocatalyst for reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in water at room temperature. The created flexible and light fabric showed low electrical resistance and high catalytic activity, wherein sonoimmobilization of Ag/rGO treated samples indicated highest catalytic activity as 4-NP solution completely reduced to 4- AP with assistance of 2×4 cm2 treated polyester after 25 min. On the other hand, introducing sonoprepared silver nanoparticles among graphene nanosheets led to significant lowering of electrical resistivity from 43 kΩ/square in mechanical stirring methodto 2 kΩ/square using ultrasound.  相似文献

In the paper, the membrane with aligned carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was prepared by electrospinning, stabilization and carbonization. The electrical conductivity of the membrane was examined. The effect of stabilization temperature and drum rotating speed on the conductivity of aligned CNFs membrane was discussed. The study on stabilization temperature showed that 250 °C was optimum parameter for preparing fibrous aligned CNFs membrane with uniform diameter, but 270 °C was benefit to fiber conglutination which could improve the electrical conductivity of the final CNFs membrane. The study on drum rotating speed showed that when drum rotating speed reached 2500 rpm, graphitic structures with parallel graphene sheets could be observed and 1000, 1500 and 2000 rpm CNFs membranes presented desirable conductivity with only 1.3 Ω·cm in the parallel directions and 2.0 Ω·cm in the perpendicular direction.  相似文献

Application of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds has received immense attention in tissue engineering. Fabrication of scaffolds with appropriate electrical properties plays a key role in neural tissue engineering. Since fibers orientation in the scaffolds affects the growth and proliferation of the cells, this study aimed to prepare aligned electrospun conductive nanofibers by mixing 1 %, 10 % and 18 % (w/v) doped polyaniline (PANI) with polycaprolactone (PCL)/poly lactic-coglycolic acid (PLGA) (25/75) solution through the electrospinning process. The fibers diameter, hydrophilicity and conductivity were measured. In addition, the shape and proliferation of the nerve cells seeded on fibers were evaluated by MTT cytotoxicity assay and scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that the conductive nanofibrous scaffolds were appropriate substrates for the attachment and proliferation of nerve cells. The electrical stimulation enhanced neurite outgrowth compared to those PLGA/PCL/PANI scaffolds that were not subjected to electrical stimulation. As polyaniline ratio increases, electric stimulation through nanofibrous PLGA/PCL/PANI scaffolds results in cell proliferation enhancement. However, a raise more than 10 % in polyaniline will result in cell toxicity. It was concluded that conductive scaffolds with appropriate ratio of PANI along with electrical stimulation have potential applications in treatment of spinal cord injuries.  相似文献

Two different electrospinning processes (traditional single fluid one and a modified coaxial electrospinning with organic solvent as sheath fluid) are investigated in relation to their capability of producing thinner nanofibers. Both the modified coaxial electrospinning and single fluid electrospinning can produce thinner nanofibers with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a polymer model and using a poor volatile solvent N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in different ways. However the traditional single fluid process was less effective compared to the modified coaxial process, as it suffered more from the limitation of polymer chain entanglement threshold for maintaining structural uniformity of nanofibers. Using DMAc as sheath fluid in the modified process facilitated formation of thinner nanofibers without sacrificing their quality. The mechanism should be that an appropriate DMAc surrounding to the core polymer jet helps to retain it in a fluid state to experience a longer time electrical drawing, with little adverse influence on the polymer chain entanglements. Nanofiber diameters could also be tailored in a linear manner using the modified coaxial process simply through manipulating the sheath solvent flow rates. The modified coaxial process described here extends the capability of electrospinning process and opens a new way to obtain thinner nanofibers with fine structural uniformity.  相似文献

Hydrophobic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers, which is intensely hygroscopic, has been successfully prepared to improve their moisture resistance using a modified coaxial electrospinning process. A stearic acid (SA) solution was exploited as the sheath fluid to coat the fibers. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the SA-coated PVP nanofibers became increasingly small with a rise in the sheath-to-core flow rate ratio; continuing to increase the sheath flow rate beyond a cut-off point resulted in nanofibres with very complicated morphologies. Transmission electron microscope images showed that SA formed a thin layer on the PVP nanofibers, with SA nanoparticles present on the fiber surfaces when a sheath-to-core flow rate ratio of 0.2:0.8 was used. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verified the coating of SA onto the PVP nanofibers, and also the formation of hydrogen bonds between the SA and PVP molecules. The SA-coated PVP nanofibers were found to have much enhanced moisture resistance over pure PVP fibers. Modified coaxial electrospinning hence comprises a novel and powerful strategy for nanocoating and surface modification of polymer nanofibers.  相似文献

A major goal of biomimetics is the development of chemical compositions and structures that simulate the extracellular matrix. In this study, gelatin-based electrospun composite fibrous membranes were prepared by electrospinning to generate bone scaffold materials. The gelatin-based multicomponent composite fibers were fabricated using co-electrospinning, and the composite fibers of chitosan (CS), gelatin (Gel), hydroxyapatite (HA), and graphene oxide (GO) were successfully fabricated for multi-function characteristics of biomimetic scaffolds. The effect of component concentration on composite fiber morphology, antibacterial properties, and protein adsorption were investigated. Composite fibers exhibited effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The study observed that the composite fibers have higher adsorption capacities of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at pH 5.32–6.00 than at pH 3.90–4.50 or 7.35. The protein adsorption on the surface of the composite fiber increased as the initial BSA concentration increased. The surface of the composite reached adsorption equilibrium at 20 min. These results have specific applications for the development of bone scaffold materials, and broad implications in the field of tissue engineering.  相似文献

Polymer organic-inorganic hybrid nanofibers constitute a new class of materials in which the polymeric nanofibers are reinforced by uniformly dispersed inorganic particles having at least one dimension in nanometer-scale. In the present study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN/Na-montmorillonite (PAN/Na-MMT) nanofibers were conducted via electrospinning process. Electrospun PAN and PAN/Na-MMT fibers with the respective mean fiber diameter of about 220 and 160 nm were prepared. The influence of the clay-montmorillonite on the morphology and diameter of nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. The microscopic techniques propose that the PAN/Na-MMT composite nanofibers show lower mean fiber diameter than the neat PAN nanofibers. Besides, the difference in nanoclay-content has a slight effect on the distribution of fibers diameter. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggest that introduction of clay-nanomaterials improves the thermal characteristics of fibers.  相似文献

In this study, a new approach consisting of chemical treatment steps followed by electrospinning process was applied to produce cellulose nanofibers from wheat straws. Wheat straws were initially pretreated by NaOH solution to open the complex structure of raw materials and remove non-cellulosic materials. Then, acid and alkali hydrolysis was separately performed to eliminate hemicellulose and soluble lignin. Also, bleaching processes were implemented to remove the insoluble lignin. Cellulose nanofibers were produced by electrospinning of various concentrations of cellulose in different solvents including sodium hydroxide/urea/thiourea, pure trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and TFA/methylene chloride. Images obtained by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed long and uniform nanofibers produced from electrospinning of cellulose/TFA/methylene chloride solution. An epoxy based laminated composite was prepared by a lamina of cellulose microfiber and electrospun nanofiber mat using hand lay-up composite manufacturing method. The fracture surface of the epoxy nanocomposite was analyzed by SEM images. In addition, the mechanical properties of laminated epoxy composites were compared with pure epoxy by conducting tensile and impact tests. Tensile test results showed that the ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of laminated epoxy nanocomposites were significantly increased. Moreover, it was found that by adding a nanofiber lamina in the epoxy composite, the impact resistance was significantly improved as a result of crack growth prevention.  相似文献

Uniform chitosan fibers (CS/PEO) with diameter of 398±76 nm were prepared by electrospinning with merely 5 wt.% of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) loading, and then annealed at elevated temperature without the use of additional crosslinker to improve the thermostability and solvent resistance. Swelling test shows that the CS/PEO composite fibers annealed at 200 oC were stable in 50 wt.% acetic acid aqueous solution. The mechanical strength test shows that the annealing temperature can affect the tensile strength of CS/PEO composite fiber mat. The cross-linked CS/PEO composite fibers provide a useful platform for the immobilization of palladium catalyst to catalyze the Mizoroki-Heck reactions of aromatic halides with olefins. Moreover, these CS/PEO composite fibers could be post modified with special ligands to chelate palladium species efficiently to further improve the catalytic activity and stability.  相似文献
