Abstract:

2ZnO.3B2O3.nH2O (Zinc borate) having the industrially important composite and used as flame retardant, anti-smoke and semiconductor in the electronic circuits was examined different crystal structures. In this study, nanofibers of PVA /zinc nitrate/ boric acid composite were prepared by using sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique. By high temperature calcinations of the above precursor fibers, nanofibers of 2ZnO.3B2O3.5H2O composite with diameters of 110 nm could be successfully obtained. The products have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR (Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy). The effects of experimental conditions on the products were investigated.
