Production and characterization of hybrid BEH-PPV/PEO conjugated polymer nanofibers by forcespinning ?

摘要

The fabrication of hybrid poly(2,5-bis(2'-ethyl-hexyl)-1,4- phenylenevinylene) (BEH-PPV) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers is reported. Nanofibers were created using a novel production method that uses centrifugal rather than electrostatic force to produce nanofibers. The nanofiber production method exhibits high yield production of nanofibers enabling mass-production capabilities. Thermo-physical characterization and X-ray diffraction of bulk PEO and BEH-PPV was conducted, and the results are compared with the produced hybrid nanofibers.
