Abstract

Nanotechnology can control the
atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels of matter. As the size of a
particle goes down to nano-size, materials exhibits good characteristics in
terms of electronics, optic, thermal, magnetic and fotocatalysis properties.
The nano composite fibers comprise of finely dispersed flakes of the second
phase inorganic material with nylon or polyester type fiber forming polymers.
Nano-fiber based materials obtained by the method of electrospining in the
interest of the outstanding features has increased due to the common
application areas of filtration, composites, medicine. In this research, we
produced nano composites at 0.50 1, 2, and 4 % ratio using polycaprolactone
(PCL) and titanium dioxide (TiO2). Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS)
and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze titanium dioxide
nano fibers.

TİTANYUM DIOKSİT KATKI MALZEMELERİ POLİKAPROLAKTON NANOKOMPOSİT FİBERLERİNİN SENTEZİ ve KARAKTERİZASYONU

Abstract

Nanoteknoloji, maddenin atomik, moleküler ve supramoleküler seviyelerini kontrol edebilir. Bir partikülün boyutu nano boyutuna indikçe malzemeler elektronik, optik, termal, manyetik ve fotokataliz özellikleri açısından iyi özellikler gösterir. Nano kompozit elyaf, naylon ya da polyester tipi elyaf oluşturucu polimerler ile ikinci faz inorganik malzemenin ince dağılmış pullarından oluşur. Göze çarpan özelliklere göre elektrospinleme yöntemiyle elde edilen nano elyaf esaslı malzemeler, genel filtrasyon, kompozitler, ilaç uygulama alanları nedeniyle artmıştır. Bu araştırmada, polikaprolakton (PCL) ve titanyum dioksit (TiO2) kullanarak% 0.50 1,2 ve 4 oranında nano kompozitler ürettik. Titanyum dioksit nano liflerinin analizinde Enerji Dağıtıcı X-Işını Spektroskopisi (EDS) ve Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM) kullanılmıştır.
