Carbon nanofibres are grown using a highly purified cobalt colloid catalyst. Nanocontact printing was used to deposit catalyst in patterns with sub-micron resolution over large areas on silicon wafers. Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition allows the direct growth of vertically aligned carbon nanofibres with good surface adhesion at lower temperatures. Production of the catalyst is describ...

Abstract Electrospinning is a well-known and straightforward technique for creating nanofibres from various materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers. The process takes place in strong electric field, causing the polymer solution to stretch, resulting micro/nanoscale fibres. parameters of electrospinning influence morphology nanofibres. In present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) were created polyvi...

Limpet teeth are striking examples of a biological fibrous nanocomposite consisting of goethite mineral within a polymeric chitin matrix. The mechanical function of limpet teeth is critically dependent on the efficient composite behaviour of goethite, formed as distinct discontinuous nanofibres, reinforcing the matrix. The mechanical properties of discrete volumes from a limpet tooth measured u...

In this paper we aim to create an experimental and numerical model of nano and micro filaments suspended in a confined Poiseuille flow. The experimental data obtained for short nanofibres will help to elucidate fundamental questions concerning mobility and deformation of biological macromolecules due to hydrodynamic stresses from the surrounding fluid motion. Nanofibres used in the experiments ...

Nanocomposites made of non-woven glass fibres with diameters ranging from tens of nanometers up to several micrometers, containing silver nanoparticles, were successfully fabricated by the laser spinning technique. Pellets of a soda-lime silicate glass containing silver nanoparticles with varying concentrations (5 and 10 wt%) were used as a precursor. The process followed to obtain the silver n...

Porous nanospheres have a wide range of applications such as in catalysis, separation and controlled delivery. Among these nanospheres, syntheses and applications of porous silica nanospheres have been investigated extensively. Uniform porous silica nanospheres can be synthesized using a modified Stöber method. In the present study, porous silica spheres were prepared in the pre-formed emulsion...

It has been established that nerves and skeletal muscles respond and communicate via electrical signals. In regenerative medicine, there is current emphasis on using conductive nanomaterials to enhance electrical conduction through tissue-engineered scaffolds to increase cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. We investigated the role of chemically synthesized polyaniline (PANI) and poly(...
