Electrical, Structural, And Chemical Properties Of Semiconducting Metal Oxide Nanofiber Yarns, Darrell Reneker
Darrell Hyson Reneker
The electrical, structural, and chemical properties of twisted yarns of metal-oxide nanofibers, fabricated using a modified electrospinning technique, are investigated in this report. In particular, synthesized zinc oxide and nickel oxide yarns having diameters in the range of 4–40μm and lengths up to 10cm were characterized, whose constituent nanofibers had average diameters of 60–100nm. These yarns have one macroscopic dimension for handling while retaining some of the properties of nanofibers.
