Preparation of Silica Based Nano fibers, Feasibility Study

In this study, Nanofiber composite poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) / silica (SiO2), was built by Electrospinning. The process for manufacturing composite Nanofiber calcinated in a furnace at temperatures of 500, 700 and 900 ° C for 3 h and silica nanofibers was created. Nanofiber structure was investigated with (FTIR) and (SEM). The results of FTIR showed that the silica nanoparticles are well structured. Nanofiber composite made under the photo results, SEM on nanofiber composite PVA / SiO2 and nanofibers of silica showed that with increasing wt polymer and nanoparticle diameter fibers increased. The optimal amount of poly (vinyl alcohol) 10% by weight and the amount of silica in Nanofiber, 90% by weight of the polymer used, respectively.
