Characterization of Electrospun Nanofibers

Using the electro-spinning technique, we have prepared emeraldine-base polyaniline/polyacrylonitrile electrospun nanofibers. These nanowebs after being doped can be used as good sensing material in gas sensors or in monitoring water in order to detect pollutants before harming the natural environment. Results showed that these fibers have a smooth surface and uniform diameter in most parts of the web except for the beadedparts.
