Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers with potential applications in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells, photocatalysts, gas sensors, and water treatment systems, among others, have been produced at large yield rates utilizing the Forcespinning (FS) technology. This study presents the results of research performed to determine optimal processing parameters to create TiO2 nanofibers at a...

The current paper presents the development and characterization of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-Zn2GeO4 (ZGO) fine fiber mats. ZGO nanorods (NRs) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method incorporated in PVDF solution to produce mats prepared by varying concentration NRs (1.25–10 wt %) Forcespinning® method. developed showed long, continuous, homogeneous fibers, with average diameters from...

Melt spinning of polypropylene nonwoven nanofiber mats is demonstrated using Forcespinning The effects of rotational speed and melt flow rate of polymer on fiber diameter were studied. It was observed that melt flow rate of the polymer plays a major role in nanofiber formation and uniformity. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-Ray Diffraction analysis indicate that the crystallinity of nan...
