Enhanced conductivity of aligned PANi/PEO/MWNT nanofibers by electrospinning

Humidity response property of Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 ordered nanofiber arrays synthetized via electrospinning

“…Finally the cumulative sum of the two currents was less than the initial value. So the conductivity of the aligned fiber array was larger than the disordered material [22], and a rapid response property was shown on macroscopic. While in the recovery process, the recovery time was mainly affected by the speed of desorption of water.…”

Carbon Nanotube-Based Poly(ethylene oxide) Nanocomposites

“…Also due to superior dispersion state in the core-sheath structure, significant improvement in mechanical properties is also observed [159]. For MWNTs and polyaniline (PANI)/PEO blend-based random mats, a surprising transition in conductivity is observed in I-V measurements [150]. At low voltage, a linear I-V characteristic is observed which turns unstable at voltage $7.0 V. This transition is closely related to the self-heating of MWNTs which alters the localization length in the composite nanofiber.…”

Nanostructured Conductive Polymers by Electrospinning

“…In the work of Shin et al, PANI/PEO/MWNT multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanofibers were fabricated to increase the electrical conductivity of PANI/PEO nanofibers [37]. While measuring the conductivity of the conducting composite nanofibers, they observed a new, unexpected transition in the electrical conductivity of the conducting composite nanofibers when the aligned composite fibers were exposed to a high electric field.…”
