Electrospinning has added a new dimension to polymeric materials, including alginate, which can be processed to their ...Read more
Author:Jacobs, V; Anandjiwala, RD; Maaza, MDate:Nov 2009Electrospinning is a simple method of producing nanofibers by introducing electric field into the polymer solutions. We report an experimental investigation on the influence of processing parameters and solution properties on the structural ...Read more
Author:Jacobs, V; Patanaik, A; Anandjiwala, RDDate:Nov 2011This paper reports the optimization of electrospinning process and solution parameters using factorial design approach to obtain uniform polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers. The parameters studied were distance between nozzle and collector ...Read more
Author:Bhaumik, M; Maity, Arjun; Srinivasu, VV; Onyango, MSDate:Feb 2012Polypyrrole-polyaniline (PPy-PANI) nanofibers as adsorbent of Cr(VI) were prepared without template via coupling of propagating PPy+ and PANI+ free radicals by simultaneous polymerization of Py and ANI monomers in presence of FeCl3 oxidant. ...Read more
