Modifying the thermomechanical properties of electrospun fibres of poly-vinyl cinnamate by photo-cross-linking
摘要： We explore the effects of cross-linking on some thermal and mechanical properties of polymer nanofibers of poly-vinyl cinnamate which were electro-spun from 1,2 dichloroethane. Scanning electron microscopy performed on the fibres revealed smooth fibres which were devoid of beading or ribbon-type features. When cross-linked, the Young’s moduli and glass transition temperatures of the fibres increase, owing to the formation of new covalent bonds which leads to higher overall binding energies. The glass transition temperatures increased by 20 K after 1 h of photo-polymerization while the Young’s modulus increased by 50% for the same exposure time. The glass transition temperatures as well as the heats of enthalpy indicate that a significant portion of cross-linking occurs within the first 10 min of exposure.

Synthesis and characterization of electro-spun TiO <sub/>2</sub> and TiO <sub/>2</sub> -SnO <sub/>2</sub> composite nano-fibers for application in advance generation solar cells
摘要： Due to rapid progressive research in the field of nano-technology, nanostructures are attaining tremendous deliberation. Precisely, among these, nano-fibers have accumulated unprecedented attention over the last few years owing to their superior properties such as large surface area to volume ratio. For advance generation solar cells, nano-fibers of metal oxides such as TiO2 have been widely employed as a working anode but due to the disadvantages of recombination of electrons, their coupling with other metal oxides is necessary to render them useful. This work reports the successful fabrication of TiO2, TiO2/SnO2 nano-fibers based film and study of the effect of polymer concentration upon it. The crystal structure of synthesized fibers was investigated using XRD, the morphology and chemical composition was analyzed using SEM and EDX, optical properties and chemical properties were studied using UV-VIS spectrophotometer and FT-IR while the electrical properties were studied using Hall Effect measurement system. It was revealed that the prepared TiO2-SnO2 nano-fibers exhibit enhanced conductivity, larger band-gap with enhanced photo voltaic properties than TiO2 nano-fibers. The prepared TiO2/SnO2 nano-fibers based solar cells provide an improved efficiency of 4.81% as compared to 1.8% efficiency of bare TiO2 nano-fibers.
