ELECTROHYDRODYNAMIC CASTING POLYMERIC CARBON NANOFIBERS FROM DIFFERENT PRECURSORS FOR THE HYPERTHERMIA APPLICATION

摘要

The purpose of this work was to develop and analyze different materials that would be able to create the partially carbonized nanofibers through electrohydrodynamic casting followed by heat treatment. Test samples were created with different precursors containing polymer solutions and different added metal salts. After performing a series of steps to create each test sample, the sample was heat-treated to generate carbon nanofiber composites. The morphology of the carbon nanofiber composites was observed using a scanning electron microscope. Hyperthermia tests on typical fiber composites were performed.
