Morphology of Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Graphene Nanosheets Composite Nanofibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The morphology of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/graphene nanosheet (GNS) electrospun fibers was studied. GNSs were prepared from chemically reduced graphene oxide using freeze drying. The effect of adding GNSs on solution viscosity and conductivity were investigated. The PVA nanofibers with GNSs have smaller diameters than those without GNSs.
