In this paper, we report a modified technique for the production of oriented continuous nanofibers instead of non-woven mats using a rapidly rotating collection device. We are interested in retaining physical properties such as electrical conductivity of fiber bundles in their axial direction. The experiments were performed using polyethylene oxide (PEO) and its blend with polyaniline (PANI). According to the results, a typical fiber with a uniform diameter of about 100 nanometer was produced. The fibers from the PEO/ CHCl$_3$ solution show high crystallinity and good orientation whereas the fibers from the blend solution of PEO/PANI/m-cresol and CHCl$_3$ show no preferred orientation. However, the fibers of the blend exhibit high electrical conductivity of 33 S/cm for a fiber bundle at a PANI level of 50 %.

Electrospinning is one of the simple, cost- efficient methods to produce long continuous semiconducting oxide nanofibers. Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate were used. PVA/Zinc acetate aqueous solutions were electrospun into nonwoven webs. CCD camera, with a lens of long working distance and digital video board were used in capturing the drop and web deposition. The diameter and morphology of nanofibers were analyzed with a Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In this study, the average diameter and morphology of nanofibers have been explorered.

Copper nanoparticle-doped and graphitic carbon nanofibers-covered porous carbon beads were used as an efficient catalyst for treating synthetic phenolic water by catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) in a packed bed reactor over 10-30 bar and $180-230^{\circ}C$, with air and water flowing co-currently. A mathematical model based on reaction kinetics assuming degradation in both heterogeneous and homogeneous phases was developed to predict reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) under a continuous operation with recycle. The catalyst and process also showed complete COD reduction (>99%) without leaching of Cu against a high COD (~120,000 mg/L) containing industrial wastewater.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with diameters in the submicron and nanometer range exhibit high specific surface area, hierarchically porous structure, flexibility, and super strength which allow them to be used in the electrode materials of energy storage devices, and as hybrid-type filler in carbon fiber reinforced plastics and bone tissue scaffold. Unlike catalytic synthesis and other methods, electrospinning of various polymeric precursors followed by stabilization and carbonization has become a straightforward and convenient way to fabricate continuous CNFs. This paper is a comprehensive and brief review on the latest advances made in the development of electrospun CNFs with major focus on the promising applications accomplished by appropriately regulating the microstructural, mechanical, and electrical properties of as-spun CNFs. Additionally, the article describes the various strategies to make a variety of carbon CNFs for energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensor, adsorption/separation, and biomedical applications. It is envisioned that electrospun CNFs will be the key materials of green science and technology through close collaborations with carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes.

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.

본 연구는 메조-, 마크로- 기공이 상호 연결된 계층적 다공구조를 갖는 $Fe_2O_3$ 나노섬유를 전기방사 및 후 열처리 과정을 통해 합성하였다. 구조체 내 마크로 기공은 $Fe(acac)_3$/polyacrylonitrile 연속상을 포함하는 섬유 내 분산상으로 존재하는 polystryrene을 열처리 과정 중 선택적으로 분해함으로써 생성시켰다. 또한, 전기방사 공정 동안 침투된 수분의 기화로 형성된 메조 기공은 마크로 기공과 상호연결되어 최종 계층적 다공구조를 갖는 $Fe_2O_3$ 나노섬유를 형성했다. 계층적 다공구조를 갖는 $Fe_2O_3$ 나노섬유의 초기 방전용량과 Coulombic 효율은 $1.0A\;g^{-1}$의 전류밀도에서 $1190mA\;h\;g^{-1}$, 79.2% 였으며, 1000 사이클 후의 방전 용량은 $792mA\;h\;g^{-1}$였다. 계층적 다공구조를 갖는 $Fe_2O_3$ 나노섬유는 높은 구조적 안정성과 형태학적 이점으로 인해 우수한 리튬 이온 저장 성능을 나타냈다.

연속적인 1차원의 나노섬유를 제작하는데 빠르고 효과적인 방법인 전기방사법을 이용하여 Ag 나노섬유로 이루어진 투명전극을 제작하고 그 특성을 측정하였다. 전기방사를 통해 제조된 Ag 나노섬유는 큰 종횡비를 갖게 되며 열처리를 통해 생성된 섬유사이의 fused junction이 접촉저항을 낮추어 전기적 특성을 향상시킨다. Ag/고분자 용액을 졸-겔 방법을 이용하여 제조한 후 glass 기판위에 방사시켜 Ag/고분자 나노섬유 구조체를 제작하고 $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, 2시간 열처리하여 고분자가 일정부분 제거되고 전도성이 향상된 Ag 나노섬유 투명전극을 제조하였다. Ag 나노섬유의 모폴로지를 FE-SEM을 통해 확인하였고 Ag 나노섬유 투명전극의 투과도와 면저항을 UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy와 I-V특성 측정장치를 사용하여 측정하였다. 투과도 83%에서 면저항 $250{\Omega}/sq$의 투명전극을 제작하였으며 전도성필름에 적합한 수준이다. Ag 나노섬유로 이루어진 투명 전극은 전기적, 광학적, 기계적 특성이 우수하여 차세대 유연 디스플레이에 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, which are pH-sensitive and exhibit soft actuation as a linear actuator and artificial muscles, were prepared by electrospinning to investigate the effect of viscosity on the morphology of PAN fibers. Experimental results revealed that higher viscosity is critical for the formation of unbeaded nanofibers because surface tension is almost constant throughout the experiment. Uniform, smooth, and continuous fibers with diameters of about 700 nm were achieved for the 10 wt% PAN fibers at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/h and an electric field of 0.875 kV/cm.

본 연구에서는 국내산 리그노셀룰로오스 자원을 이용하여 기계적 처리를 통해 나노섬유를 제조 후, 형태학적 특성 및 고강도 시트로의 응용 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 연속식 분쇄 처리는 세포벽의 구조를 느슨하게하고 분쇄 소요 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노스케일에 가까운 섬유가 관찰되었다. 재료의 미립화 정도를 증명하는 여수시간은 모든 공시재료에서 분쇄 소요시간이 증가함에 따라 직선적인 증가 경향을 나타내었다. 셀룰로오스의 상대결정화는 기계적인 해섬처리 정도에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았으나 탈리그닌 처리에 의해 크게 증가하였다. 셀룰로오스 나노섬유 시트는 기계적인 분쇄 소요시간이 증가함에 따라 인장강도가 증가하였고 옥수수줄기를 이용한 시트에서 특히 높은 인장강도가 측정되었다. 상기와 같은 결과는 국내 자생 식물자원을 활용한 셀룰로오스 나노섬유 제조 기술의 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
