TiO2/ZnO and ZnO/TiO2 core/shell nanofibers prepared by electrospinning and atomic layer deposition for photocatalysis and gas sensing

Fabrication of AlN/BN bishell hollow nanofibers by electrospinning and atomic layer deposition

Microstructural control and selective C2H5OH sensing properties of Zn2SnO4 nanofibers prepared by electrospinning.

Microstructural evolution of spinel Zn(2)SnO(4) nanofibers was manipulated via an in situ phase separation process of inorganic precursors and a matrix polymer during electrospinning and calcination. Chemiresistive gas sensors using porous Zn(2)SnO(4) fibers exhibited superior C(2)H(5)OH sensing response.

Zinc oxide nano-crystals assisted for carbon dioxide gas sensing; prepared by solvothermal and sonochemical methods

ZnO nanostructures of different methods and sizes were grown in a controlled manner using a simple hydrothermal and sonochemical technique. Controlling the content of concentration and temperature of the reaction mixture, spherical nanoparticles ZnO structures could be synthesized at temperatures 100-150 °C with excellent reproducibility in solvothermal and at different power and time in sonoch...

Atomic force microscopy visualization of hard segment alignment in stretched polyurethane nanofibers prepared by electrospinning

Molecular-level orientation within nanofibers has been attracting attention as a tool for controlling and designing highly functional nanofibers. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy to visualize the phase separation between soft and hard segments on a polyurethane (PU) nanofiber surface prepared by electrospinning. Furthermore, the stretched nanofibers prepared with a high-speed rota...

Fast dissolving paracetamol/caffeine nanofibers prepared by electrospinning.

A series of polyvinylpyrrolidone fibers loaded with paracetamol (PCM) and caffeine (CAF) was fabricated by electrospinning and explored as potential oral fast-dissolving films. The fibers take the form of uniform cylinders with smooth surfaces, and contain the drugs in the amorphous form. Drug-polymer intermolecular interactions were evidenced by infrared spectroscopy and molecular modeling. Th...
