Nanofiber fabrication method

Nanofibers for fuel cells can potentially play a key role in meeting global energy demands in the coming century due to their unique structures and high surface area to volume ratios [117, 118]. Among many nanofiber fabrication methods,... 

A Comparison of the Most Popular Nanofiber Fabrication Methods... 

In terms of the nanomaterial morphology, specific fabrication methods for five typical conducting polymers (PPy, PANI, PT, PEDOT, PPV) have been reviewed in Sects. 4-8. It deals with nanoparticle, core-shell nanomaterials, hollow nanospheres, nanofibers, nanotubes, nanopatterns, and nanocomposites of each conducting polymer. 

A nanofiber seeding method has been developed in order to fabricate PANI nanofiber without organic dopants, surfactants, and insoluble templates [290]. With even very small amounts of inorganic or organic nanofibers, the morphology of the resulting doped PANI powder was changed...

In a different way, the surface porosity of individual nanofibers is defined by the topography which can be present on the surface of each polymer filament. Depending on their nature and on the used fabrication method, surface features can extend from the nm-scale to hundreds of nm, thus possibly being... 

Nanofibers with tunable emission color can be obtained by different fabrication methods, but in general they exploit the same FRET mechanism to transfer energy from a high-energy donor to a low-energy acceptor molecule (Section 5.1.2). Varying with the relative concentrations of the two molecules within a blend or a heterostructure allows the desired overall emission spectrum to be obtained. The probability, P, of exciton transfer from the...
