Chun et al. [93] produced carbon nano fibers with diameter in the range from 100 nm to a few microns from electrospim polyacrylonitrile and me-sophase pitch precursor fibers. Wang et al. [94, 95] produced carbon nanofibers from carbonizing of electrospun PAN nanofibers and studied their structure and conductivity. Hou et al. [96] reported a method to use the carbonized electrospun PAN nanofibers as substrates for the formation of multiwall carbon Nanotubes. Kim et al. [14, 97] produced carbon nanofibers from PAN-based or pitch-based electrospim fibers and studied the electrochemical properties of carbon nanofibers web as an electrode for supercapacitor. 

Solution rheology has a significant influence on the diameter of electrospun nano-libers for example, McKee at al. studied the fiber formation process of electrospun linear and branched polyester and foimd that fiber diameter (D) increases with the zero shear rate viscosity ( / ) of the solution by ... 

Kwon and coworkers prepared a series of nano- to microstmctured biodegradable PCLA porous fabrics by electrospinning. The nanoscale-fiber porous fabrics were electrospun with PCLA (1 1 mole ratio, approximately 0.3-1.2 mm in diameter) using l,l,l,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol as a solvent.
