TiO2 nanorods coated onto nylon 6 nanofibers using hydrothermal treatment with improved mechanical properties

Comparative study of the effects of anatase and rutile titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the structure and properties of waterborne polyurethane

“…Nowadays, being used as inorganic additive into polymers has attracted much more attention [3][4][5]. The addition of nano-TiO 2 into polymers can not only improve the UV resistance [6] and mechanical properties [7], but also endows some functional properties, such as photocatalytic antibacterial [8,9] and photocatalytic self-cleaning [10][11][12].…”

Engineering Surface and Optical Properties of TiO2-Coated Electrospun PVDF Nanofibers Via Controllable Self-Assembly

“…The results indicated that as the thickness of the TiO 2 membrane increased from 0 to ~300 nm, the extinction coefficient was increased by 3000 cm −1 at the axis direction. The third mode is the nanorod coating with a certain diameter and length [ 25 ]. Yang et al prepared TiO 2 nanorod coating layers on mullite fibers for infrared opacifier application [ 26 ].…”

Electrospinning of Nylon11: Effect of processing parameters on morphology and microstructure

“…In electrospinning, sub-micron polymer fibers are produced using an electro-statically driven jet of polymer solution or polymer melt. Several researchers have studied the effect of electrospinning processing variables on the morphology of electrospun mats for different polymers dissolved in different solvents [7][8][9].A wide variety of polymers, ceramics and metal oxides can be electrospun [10][11][12][13].Processing parameters such as applied voltage, flow rate and distance between the two electrodes affect the fiber formation and consequently the fiber diameter. In some cases,…”
