Abstract
PAN-based carbon nanofibers reinforced with nanoparticles are used in various applications including energy, medical, and electronics. Many of the production methods include chemical-based approach to fabricate such fibers. Here, an attempt has been made to fabricate PAN–hematite composite fiber using physical methods. Hematite nanopowders (30–40 nm) are mixed in PAN solution. They are spun into fibers using electrospinning technique. The spun fibers are stabilized and carbonized using a tubular furnace. The fibers are then characterized for their electrical and metallurgical properties. It is found that the nanofibers have hematite reinforced in them at regular interval. The produced PAN-Hematite composite fiber yielded desired electrical and metallurgical properties.
