Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers containing graphene oxide (GO) and Ag doped functionalized reduced graphene oxide (Ag-RGO) were successfully prepared via the electrospinning technique. The uniform distribution of GO sheets along with Ag nanoparticle in the nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the elemental mapping technique. X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis verified the presence of GO and Ag in the bicomposite nanofibrous mats. Antibacterial tests against Escherichia coli demonstrated that the addition of GO and Ag-RGO to the PU nanofiber greatly enhanced bactericidal efficiency. Overall, these features of the synthesized nanofibers make them a promising candidate material in the biomedical field for applications such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems.

A new type of supercapacitor was constructed by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and DAAQ (l,5-diaminoanthraquinone) oligomer. DAAQ was deposited on the carbon nanofibers by chemical polymerization with ammonium peroxodisulfate (($NH_4)_2S_2O_8$) as oxidant in the 0.1 M $H_2SO_4$. Polymerization reaction was carried out with constant sonication. From the analysis, it is clear that surface of carbon nanofibers was quite uniformly coated with DAAQ. The performance characteristics of the supercapacitors have been evaluated using Cyclic Voltammetry. CNFs/DAAQ based composite electrode showed relatively good electrochemical behaviors in acidic electrolyte system. CNFs/DAAQ composite electrode showed relatively good capacitance (7 Ah/kg) compared to conventional capacitors in the range of $-0.4\~0.4$.

Carbon nanofibers with an average diameter of 100nm were reacted with SiO vapor generated from a mixture of Si and SiO2 to produce silicon carbide nanofibers at temperature ranging 1200∼1500$^{\circ}C$ under vacuum. The nanofiber reacted at 1200$^{\circ}C$ for two hours consisted of silicon carbide with an average crystallite size of 10-20nm, amorphous silica and a significant amount of unreacted carbon. The surface area of silicon carbide nanofiber, obtained after removal of amorphous silica and unreacted carbon from converted carbon nanofibers at 1200$^{\circ}C$, was as high as 150㎡/g. With increasing reaction temperature to 1500$^{\circ}C$, the surface area was decreased to 14㎡/g. Growth of SiC crystallite size with increasing conversion temperature of carbon nanofiber was confirmed from Scherrer formula using the (111) diffraction line and TEM images of converted carbon nanofibers.

Functional nanomaterial is expected to have improved capacities on various fields. Especially, metal nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrix and metal nanofiber, one of the functional nanomaterials, are able to achieve improvement of property in the electric and other related fields. In this study, the fabrication of metal (Ag) nanoparticle dispersed nanofibers were attempted. The Ag nanoparticle dispersed polymer nanofiber and Ag nanofiber were fabricated by electrospinning method using electric force. First, PVP/$AgNO_3$ nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning in $18{\sim}22kV$ voltage with the starting materials (Ag-nitrate) added polymer (PVP; poly (vinylpyrrolidone)). Then Ag nanoparticle dispersed polymer nanofibers were fabricated to reduce hydrogen reduction at $150^{\circ}C$ for 3hr. And Ag nanofibers were synthesized by the decomposited of PVP at $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 3hr. The nanofibers were analyzed by XRD, TGA, FE-SEM and TEM. The experimental results showed that the Ag nanofibers could be applied in many fields as an advanced material.

상온에서 작동하는 고감도 수소 가스센서를 제조하기 위하여 Pt 촉매가 증착된 다공성 탄소나노섬유를 제조하였다. 나노섬유는 polyacrylonitrile을 탄소전구체로 하여 전기방사법을 이용하여 제조되었고, 탄소나노섬유의 제조를 위하여 열처리 공정을 거쳤다. 다음으로, 탄소나노섬유에 화학적 활성화 공정을 통하여 가스 흡착을 위한 높은 비표면적과 기공구조를 부여하였다. Pt는 수소가스에 대한 촉매효과를 위하여 스퍼터링법을 통해 다공성 탄소나노섬유에 증착되었다. 탄소나노섬유는 화학적 활성화 공정을 통해 비표면적이 $2093m^2/g$으로 100배 이상 증가하였고, 약 60 vol%의 미세기공이 부여되었다. Pt는 다공성 탄소나노섬유의 형태를 그대로 유지하면서 얇고 고르게 증착되었다. 제조된 가스센서의 반응속도와 민감도는 비표면적, 미세기공율의 증가와 Pt 증착에 의하여 증가하였다. 결과적으로 수소가스에 대한 탄소나노섬유 상온에서 감응특성은 화학적 활성화와 Pt의 촉매효과에 의하여 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) solid solution is attracting extensive attention for photocatalytic water splitting and wastewater treatment owing to its narrow and controllable band gap. To optimize the photocatalytic performance of the solid solution, the key points are to decrease its band gap and recombination rate. In this study, (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) nanofibers with various Zn fractions are prepared by electrospinning followed by calcination and nitridation. The effect of the composition and crystallinity of electrospun oxide nanofibers on the morphology and optical properties of the obtained solid-solution nanofibers are systematically investigated. The results show that the final shape of the (Ga_1-xZn_x) (N_1-xO_x) material is greatly affected by the crystallinity of the oxide nanofibers before nitridation. The photocatalytic properties of (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) with different Ga:Zn atomic ratios are investigated by studying the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation.

Polycaprolactone(PCL)과 biphasic calcium phosphate(BCP)는 생체적합성 및 골 형성 촉진 등으로 인해 정형외과 소재로 사용되고 있다. 하지만, PCL은 표면이 소수성으로 인해 세포의 부착 및 증식에 제한적이기 때문에 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 감마선을 이용하여 골 재생을 위한 친수성이 향상된 PCL/BCP 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 나노섬유는 전기방사를 통해 제작했으며, 감마선을 이용하여 acrylic acid(AAc)를 도입하였다. SEM을 통해 나노섬유 표면을 확인하였고, AAc가 도입된 나노섬유 위에서 MG63의 초기 생존율이 현저히 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 알칼리성 포스파테이즈 활성은 $1.239{\pm}0.226nmole/{\mu}g/min$으로 개질되지 않은 나노섬유($0.590{\pm}0.286nmole/{\mu}g/min$) 보다 증가하였다. 따라서, AAc가 도입된 PCL/BCP 나노섬유는 골조직 재생에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
