AbstractSilicon Carbide (SiC) nanofibers were synthesized from SiC powder dispersed in polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution in Chloroform using the electrospinning technique. The as-spun fibers were then annealed at 1000ËC to 7 hours. The average diameter of the annealed fibers is 500 nm while the length of the annealed fibers is about 50 µm. The fibers were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Cathodoluminescence (CL). PL spectra from the annealed SiC fibers show a broad emission in the red-infrared spectral regime. The main peak is centered at 774 nm while the shoulder on the left is at 740 nm

ABSTRACTWe have synthesized Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.48)O3 fibers with diameter ranging from 500 nm to several microns using electrospinning and metallo-organics decomposition (MOD) techniques. By a refinement of our electrospinning technique, i.e. by increasing the viscosity of the precursor solution, and by adding a filter to the tip of the syringe, the diameter of synthesized PZT fibers has been reduced to the neighborhood of a hundred nanometers. The complex thermal decomposition was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that alcohol evaporated during electrospinning and that the organic groups had pyrolized before the intermediate pyrochlore phase was formed. There is a good correspondence between XRD and FTIR spectra. It was also found that a thin film of platinum coated on silicon substrate surface not only seems to have catalyzed the phase transformation to PZT but also favored the formation of 110 texture in the synthesized PZT fibers.

Silicon carbide (SiC) was sintered using two different additives: AlN-Y2O3 or AlN-CRE2O3. CRE2O3 is a mixed oxide formed by Y2O3 and rare-earth oxides. The crystalline structures of the phases were analyzed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction using synchrotron light source. The results of the Rietveld refinement of the mixed oxide show a solid solution formation. In both silicon carbide samples prepared using AlN-Y2O3 or AlN-CRE2O3 3C (beta-phase) and 6H (alpha-phase) polytypes were found. The structural and microstructural results for both samples were similar. This is an indication of the viability of the use of CRE2O3 in substitution for Y2O3 as additive to obtain dense materials.

The polyherbal-loaded polycaprolactone nanofibrous mat was prepared by electrospinning technique, and physical and chemical characteristics of nanofibrous mats were studied using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyzer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The presence of various phytochemicals in the crude monoherbal and polyherbal extracts was analyzed. The antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of the polyherbal-loaded nanofibrous mats were studied. The drug release pattern of the polyherbal-loaded nanofibrous mats was studied at different time intervals. The 5% drug-loaded nanofibrous mat shows higher sustainable drug release rate than 1% and 3% drug-loaded nanofibrous mats. The cell viability was found to be 98.91%, 98.77%, 98.5%, and 98.22% for polycaprolactone and 1%, 3%, and 5% for polyherbal-loaded nanofibrous mats, respectively.

Needle-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures was deposited on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by solution-immersion method and Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with diffferent RF powers, respectively on a glass substrate to synthesis nanocomposites of ZnO/TiO2. Field Emission Scanning Electrons Microscope (FESEM) images demonstrate that needle-like ZnO (112-1110 nm) are deposited on the surface of the TiO2nanoparticles with the diameter of approximately 36.3-62.9 nm. At 200 W, more needle-like ZnO with smallest average diameter (112 nm) appeared on the TiO2nanoparticles, which also has the smallest average size of 36.3 nm The compositions of elements in the nanocomposites were showed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX). All elements of Ti, O, and Zn are observed as major components which confirm the presence of TiO2and ZnO in the composite. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the nanocomposites show ZnO formed on TiO2nanoparticles are hexagonal with a wurtzite structure and it revealed ZnO/TiO2thin films were succesfully deposited as nanocomposites of ZnTiO3at 100 W,Zn2TiO4at 150 W and Zn2Ti3O8at 200 W and above.

MoS2@ZnO nanoheterostructures were synthesized by electrospark erosion of zinc granules in a hydrogen peroxide solution and simultaneous addition of MoS2 nanostructured powder into the reaction zone. The morphology, size of the crystallites, as well as elemental and phase composition of the prepared structures, were examined using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the synthesized products represent heterostructures containing MoS2 nanoparticles formed on ZnO nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence analysis were also used for characterization of the prepared heterostructures. The obtained MoS2@ZnO nanostructures revealed an intense broad emission band ranging from 425 to 625 nm for samples with different fractions of MoS2. Photocatalytic measurements showed that the maximal hydrogen evolution rate of the prepared nanoheterostructures was about 906.6 μmolg−1h−1.The potential of their application in photocatalytic water splitting was also estimated.

The sepiolite samples were defibered by using microwave chemical technique, and then different sepiolite samples were obtained with different treatment process. The effect of reaction time on the defibering for sepiolite fiber bundles was studied systematically. Through characterization by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), it was found that the defibered sepiolite samples had an average diameter of about 100 nm and length greater than 20μm. The defibering effect of sepiolite samples as prepared reached optimum at the reaction time of 13 min, and the structural stability of sepiolite was kept after defibering treatment.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers containing functional ZnS nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by electrospinning technique. The ZnS/PVA mixture solution for electrospinning was obtained by reacting Zn(Ac)2 with Na2S in the PVA aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that the morphology of the ZnS/PVA nanofibers consists of the dispersion of ZnS nanopaticles with cubic structure in PVA nanofibers. The coordinations between –OH and Zn2+ were characterized by infrared spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectroscopy studies showed that the ZnS/PVA nanofibers had a strong blue-violet emission band at 450 nm, which may be associated with defect-related emission of the ZnS.
