Topic: Study on Nanotechnology and Production of Electron Nanofiber
Abstract: Electrospinning is a method for producing micro and nano sized synthetic fibers through the use of electrostatic forces. This phenomenon has been known since early in the 20th century, but has had an increase in interest since the 1990’s due to their potential applications in textiles, electronics, and the biomedical field. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers will electrospun from electrospinning process that fabricated using ethanol solution and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). During this electrospinning process, there many morphology of nanofiber produced in terms of polymer concentration and molecular weight. The parameters that can be seen in this electrospinning process are voltage supply and feeding rate or flow rate. The morphology of TiO2 nanofiber will be analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). From the SEM pictures, it conclude that when the applied voltage is higher, the diameter lowest diameter along with increasing molecular weight. The diameter is increase when the flow rate used is increased also along with the molecular weight.
