The non-noble 1D nanofibers(NFs) prepared by electrospinning and calcination method were used as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst for water electrolysis. The electrospinning process and rate of solution composition was optimized to prepare uniform and non-beaded PVP polymer electrospun NFs. The diameter and morphology of PVP NFs changed in accordance with the viscosity and ion conductivity. The clean metal precursor contained electrospun fibers were synthesized via the optimized electrospinning process and solution composition. The calcined $CuCo_2O_4$ NFs catalyst showed higher activity and long-term cycle stability for OER compared with other $Co_3O_4$, $NiCo_2O$ NF catalysts. Furthermore, the $CuCo_2O_4$ NFs maintained the OER activity during long-term cycle test compared with commercial $CuCo_2O_4$ nanoparticle catalyst due to unique physicochemical and electrochemical properties by1D nanostructure.

In this work, one dimension $In_2O_3$ nanostructures as detecting materials for indoor toxic gases were synthesized by an electrospinning process. The morphology of electrospun $In_2O_3$ nanofibers was controlled by electrolyte composition, applied voltage and working distance between a nozzle and a substrate. The synthesized $In_2O_3$ nanofibers-based paste with/without carbon black additives was prepared for the integration on a sensor device. The integration of $In_2O_3$ sensing materials was conducted by a hand-printing of the paste into the interdigit Au electrodes patterned on Si wafer. Gas sensing properties on CO and HCHO gases were characterized at $300^{\circ}C$. The evaluated sensing properties such as sensitivity, response time and recovery time were improved in $In_2O_3$ nanofiber pastes with carbon black, compared to the paste without carbon black.

생체재생용 지지체는 높은 다공구조와 적당한 기계적인 강도를 필요로 한다. 높은 다중성과 적당한 다공크기는 지지체와 주변 환경 사이에 영양분의 공급을 원활하게 하여 셀의 지지체에 대한 초기 집착력과 성장을 가능하게 하는 구조를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 polycaprolactone(PCL) 나노섬유를 화학 발포제와 전기방사공정을 이용하여 다양한 조건하에서 제조하였다. PCL 용액의 농도가 8wt%, 발포제의 함량 0.5wt%, 발포온도 $100^{\circ}C$ 및 체류시간 2-3초에서 가공성 측면과 다공성 측면에서 우수한 발포된 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 세포의 성장성을 측정하기 위하여 인체피부세포를 셀 켤츄어링하여, 발포되지 않은 나노섬유와 비교하였다.

염료감응형 태양전지의 광전변환효율(${\eta}$) 향상을 위하여 수열합성한 $TiO_2$ 나노입자에 전기방사한 $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$, $ZrO_2$ 및 $SnO_2$ 나노파이버를 첨가하여 광전극에 적용하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노파이버를 첨가한 염료감응형 태양전지는 순수한 $TiO_2$ 나노입자에 비해 높은 전류밀도($J_{sc}$)를 나타내었고 이것은 나노파이버 구조로 인하여 염료에서 여기된 전지의 전달 특성이 용이하여 나타난 현상으로 생각된다. 또한 $SiO_2$ 나노파이버를 첨가한 염료감응형 태양전지의 경우, 순수한 $TiO_2$ 나노입자를 이용한 것에 비해 보다 높은 0.67 V의 개방전압($V_{oc}$)을 나타내었고 에너지 변환효율 또한 6.24%로 가장 높게 나타났다.

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) is considered a potentially attractive candidate for the visible-light-driven photodegradation of organic pollutants. In an effort to enhance their photocatalytic activities, BiVO₄ nanofibers with controlled microstructures, grain sizes, and crystallinities are successfully prepared by electrospinning followed by a precisely controlled heat treatment. The structural features, morphologies, and photo-absorption performances of the asprepared samples are systematically investigated and can be readily controlled by varying the calcination temperature. From the physicochemical analysis results of the synthesized nanofiber, it is found that the nanofiber calcines at a lower temperature, shows a smaller crystallite size, and lower crystallinity. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B (RhB) reveals that the photocatalytic activity of the BiVO₄ nanofibers can be improved by a thermal treatment at a relatively low temperature because of the optimization of the conflicting characteristics, crystallinity, crystallite size, and microstructure. The photocatalytic activity of the nanofiber calcined at 350℃ for the degradation of RhB under visible-light irradiation exhibits a greater photocatalytic activity than the nanofibers synthesized at 400℃ and 450℃.

알긴산은 $\alpha$-($1{\rightarrow}4$)-L-guluronic acid(G)와 $\beta$-($1{\rightarrow}4$)-D-mannuronic acid(M)로 구성되어 있으며, 생체친화성, 무독성, 생분해성, 친수성 및 상대적으로 낮은 가격으로 인해 창상피복재나 조직공학용 지지체 및 약물운반체 등 생의학적 분야에 널리 이용하기에 적합한 물질이다. 그러나 이러한 특성을 가지는 알긴산 자체는 물에 녹지 않기 때문에 수용성인 알긴산나트륨의 형태로 많이 사용되고 있으나, 그 수용액은 매우 점도와 전도도가 높기 때문에 전기방사에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 전기방사가 가능한 수용성 고분자인 poly(ethylene oxide)(FEO)와 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)을 혼합하였다. 본 연구에서는 천연 재료인 알긴산과 생체적합성이 뛰어난 수용성 고분자를 혼합하여 전기방사를 통해 나노섬유로 제조하였으며, 제조된 나노섬유는 SEM 분석 및 평균 직경 분석, XRD 분석 등을 통하여 최적 조건을 수립하였다.

[ $TiO_2/PVP$ ] 나노섬유의 배열을 증진시키기 위하여 콜렉터 접지방법을 변화시키면서 전기방사하였다. 한축방향의 배열을 가진 섬유를 만들기 위하여 두개의 전도성 기판을 콜렉터로 사용하여 전기방사하였다. 또한, 두축방향의 섬유배열을 하기 위하여 $90^{\circ}$ 각도로 배치된 콜렉터를 타이머로 조절하면서 방사하였다. 전기방사 시 나노섬유는 콜렉터 전극사이에서 전기장 효과에 의해 퍼지는 현상이 관찰되었다. 실험결과, 후자의 $TiO_2/PVP$ 나노섬유 경우 콜렉터에 정체된 전하의 해소로 인하여 방향성에 더 효과적이었다.

This study extracted Artemisia capillaris Thunberg with distilled water and ethanol to investigate its antioxidant effect. We then investigated the possibility of producing nanofibers by an electrospinning process by adding the extracts to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The electrospinning method used a PVA concentration of 12wt.%, an applied voltage of 10kV, and a tip-to-collector distance of 15cm. Total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were measured to verify the antioxidant activity of Artemisia capillaris Thunberg extracts (ACEs). The total polyphenol content of the distilled water extract and the ethanol extract were measured as 218.47 and 271.26mg/g, respectively, and the total flavonoid content of the distilled water extract and the ethanol extract were measured as 141.68 and 34.98mg/g, respectively. As the content of the ACEs in the PVA nanofibers increased, the Diameters of the nanofibers and the uniformity of the diameters decreased. The electrospinning process was fabricated in a relatively uniform form without beads, and the diameters of the nanofibers that were produced ranged from 340 to 390nm. The results of FT-IR, XRD and DSC analyses confirmed that the ACEs were well mixed with the PVA molecules and were electrospun.

Calcium metaphosphate (CMP) nanofibers with a diameter of ${\sim}600nm$ were prepared using electrospun CMP/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) fibers through a process of drying for 5 h in air followed by annealing for 1 h at $650^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum. The viscosity of the CMP/PVP precursor containing 0.15 g/ml of PVP was 76 cP. Thermal analysis results revealed that the fibers were crystallized at $569^{\circ}C$. The crystal phase of the as-annealed fiber was determined to be ${\delta}-CMP\;({\delta}-Ca(PO_3)_2)$. However, the morphology of the fibers changed from smooth and uniform (as-spun fibers) to linked-particle characteristics with a tubular form most likely due to the decomposition of the inner PVP matrix. It is expected that this large amount of available surface area has the potential to provide unusually high bioactivity and fast responses in clinical hard tissue applications.

Recent advancements in the electrospinning method enable the production of ultrafine solid and continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers with controlled surface and morphological features. A wide range of biopolymers can be electrospun into mats with a specific fiber arrangement and structural integrity. These features of nanofiber mats are morphologically similar to the extracellular matrix of natural tissues, which are characterized by a wide pore diameter distribution, a high porosity, effective mechanical properties, and specific biochemical properties. This has resulted in various kinds of applications for polymer nanofibers in the field of biomedicine and biotechnology. The current emphasis of research is on exploiting these properties and focusing on determining the appropriate conditions for electrospinning various biopolymers for biomedical applications, including scaffolds used in tissue engineering, wound dressing, drug delivery, artificial organs, and vascular grafts, and for protective shields in specialty fabrics. This paper reviews the research on biomedical applications of electrospun nanofibers.
