Enhanced approach for producing zirconia nanofiber

Abstract

Electrospinning is a technique of producing nanofibers from polymer solution under the influence of electrostatic forces. It provides a relatively inexpensive method of creating a variety of nanofibers. In this work, the formation of zirconia nanofibers by electrospinning technique was investigated. Nano fibers of zirconia were prepared in three forms under different weight percentage as well as under optimized condition too. As a end result three different zirconia nanofibers were produced and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, UV and SEM.
