Isolated vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) have been grown using dc plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and the effects of the growth conditions on VACNF morphology and composition have been determined in substantial detail. The dependence of the growth rate, tip and base diameters, and chemical composition of isolated VACNFs on the growth parameters is described, including t...

Growth of mutually aligned organic nanofibers from functionalised p-quaterphenylene has been demonstrated on a mica substrate via high vacuum sublimation. The fibers bridge the gap between microscopic and macroscopic dimensions according to their typical width in nanometer scale and length up to several hundred micrometers. They are an important step forward towards integrated nanoscopic optoel...

We have developed a simple method to characterize the mechanical properties of three dimensional nanostructures, such as nanorods standing up from a substrate. With an atomic force microscope the cantilever probe is used to deflect a horizontally aligned nanorod at different positions along the nanorod, using the apex of the cantilever itself rather than the tip normally used for probing surfac...

The electrospinning was applied to fabricate aligned nanofibers in a magnetic field. Fe2O3 nanoparticles were added PVDF/Zn(CHCOOH)2 solution, and heat treatment of the nanofiber mats made produce PVDF/Fe2O3 containing ZnO nanoparticles. Hierarchical composites obtained via facile hydro-thermal growth process, where radially oriented nanorods found. morphology as-synthesized samples investigate...

electrospinning was applied to nitrocellulose (nc) solutions  in dmf, dmso  and  ethyl  methyl  keton  to  obtain  nc  nanofibers. electrospraying  process  was  observed  when  dmf  was  used  as solvent.  in  comparison  to nc/dmf, nc/dmso  solution  resulted  in the  formation  of  a  coating  film  as  indicate  by  sem.  two  different electrospun  nanofibers,  smooth  nanofibers  with  90...

In this study, we investigated the effect of micro and nanoscale scaffold topography on promoting neuronal differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and directing the resulting neuronal outgrowth in an organized manner. We used melt electrospinning to fabricate poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds with loop mesh and biaxial aligned microscale topographies. Biaxial aligned...

ZnO and TiO2 are both well-known electron transport materials; however, an exact comparison of their performance, when fabricated under the same synthesis conditions, is missing in literature. Considering this, we introduced a viable electrospinning route for development highly polycrystalline nanofibers material (ETM) perovskite solar cells photocatalysts textiles. Thanks to effective tuning b...
