Pyrolysis of Electrospun Nanofibers

Ability to form different fiber diameter and length and chemical and mechanical properties. 

Electrospun nanofibers are used in many applications such as filtration [61], catalyst support [62], biomedical [63] and sensors in electronics [64]. 

Nataraj et al. studied the use of various acids for the preparation of PAN nanofibers and their effects on the morphological and electrical properties of resulting CNFs [67]. They reported that the CNFs showed improved morphological and electrical properties by using heteropolyacids with 5% concentration. 

The CNFs with smaller diameters, when used as a structural material in composites, enhance the integration between the matrix and the fibers
