Effect of Electrospinning Parameters on Morphology of poly(acrylonitrileco-acrylic acid) Magnetic Nanofibers

Magnetic nano-sorbent has been sensitized by Fe3O4 nanoparticles and poly (acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid)mixture using electrospinning technique. The effects of electrospinning parameters (polymeric concentration, applied voltage and collector type) and the presence of magnetic nanoparticles on fiber morphology (fiber diameter and fiber orientation), were studied by means of electron scanning microscopy. The nanofibers’ diameter increased with solution concentration and applied voltage. The results showed that, the diameter of nanofibers decreased up to three times with the presence of nanoparticle
