Highly aligned polyacrylonitrile-based nano-scale carbon fibres with homogeneous structure and desirable properties

Synthesis, Persistent Luminescence, and Thermoluminescence Properties of Yellow Sr3SiO5:Eu2+,RE3+ (RE=Ce, Nd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) and Orange‐Red Sr3−xBaxSiO5:Eu2+, Dy3+ Phosphor

“…Both samples present a broad peak in the region of 2 θ near 25°, which corresponds to the (002) planes, and a smaller one near 42°, which corresponds to the (100) planes. In good agreement with reports in the literature, this result indicates the presence of graphitic domains, even if the broad nature of the peaks implies that the fibers are turbostratic rather than crystalline 24. Full width at half‐maximum (FWHM ( β )) values for aligned and random samples are β =0.0977 rad (or 5.6°) and 0.0942 rad (or 5.4°), respectively, and scattering angles of the (002) planes of these samples are 2 θ =24.62 and 24.32°, respectively.…”

“…Sui et al. fabricated an anisotropic ECF felt by hot stretching, with fiber carbonization at 1200 °C 24. They studied the electrical conductivity by alternating current (AC) impedance analysis.…”

Control of Spatial Organization of Electrospun Fibers in a Carbon Felt for Enhanced Bioelectrode Performance

“…Additionally, the cross-sectional area of the felt was calculated indirectly by weighting, which overestimated the result. Otherwise, the calculated and overestimated value of 14.3 S cm À1 was in good agreement with other studies performed by Ra et al [20] and Sui et al [24] Cyclic voltammetry…”

“…In good agreement with reports in the literature, this result indicates the presence of graphitic domains, even if the broad nature of the peaks implies that the fibers are turbostratic rather than crystalline. [24] Full width at half-maximum (FWHM (b)) values for aligned and random samples are b = 0.0977 rad (or 5.68) and 0.0942 rad (or 5.48), respectively, and scattering angles of the (002) planes of these samples are 2q = 24.62 and 24.328, respectively. The crystallite size parameters, L c , can therefore be calculated in both samples by using the Scherrer equation (L c = 0.9l/(bcos q)).…”

The structure and properties of the carbon non-wovens modified with bioactive nanoceramics for medical applications

“…Furthermore, CF can be manufactured both in the micrometer and nanometer scales which make these materials attractive for the masses as a scaffold for tissue engineering [6,7]. Carbon fibrous scaffolds can be obtained by needling or electrospinning [8]. Non-wovens formed by these methods are characterized by an open pore system enabling tissue ingrowth and transport of nutrients and products of metabolism [9,10].…”
