Abstract

New hybrid fibrous materials from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and nanosized zinc oxide have been prepared by electrospinning or by combining electrospinning and electrospraying techniques. Electrospinning of PAN/nanosized zinc oxide dispersion leads to the production of mats with nanofiller distributed mainly in the bulk of the fibers. Electrospinning of PAN solution performed in conjunction with electrospraying of nanosized zinc oxide dispersion enables the preparation of fibers decorated with zinc oxide particles. The incorporation of zinc oxide in the fibers leads to enhancement of the mechanical properties of the mats. The fibrous materials having zinc oxide particles situated on the fibers surface exhibit better photocatalytic activity in respect to photo-induced degradation of the model dye methylene blue and greater antibacterial activity against the pathogenic microorganism Staphylococcus aureus.
