Microwave Synthesis of SnO_2 Nanocrystals on the Surface of Fine Polymer Fibers

摘要

Nanocrystals of stable, tetragonal tin dioxide have been synthesized using microwave processing, and the effect of microwave heating on the structural phase transformations of the tin compounds involved has been examined. The results are used to determine microwave heating parameters that ensure strong bonding of nanocrystals to the surface of polymer fibers.
