One-step synthesis of hollow titanate (Sr/Ba) ceramic fibers for detoxification of nerve agents. Journal of Nanotechnology : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1155/2012/429021 | Abstract: | Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP)/(strontium/barium acetate)/titanium isopropoxide composite fibers were prepared by electrospinning technique via sol-gel process. Diameters of fibers prepared by calcinations of PVP composite fibers were 80140 nm (solid) and 1.2-2.2 μm (hollow fibers prepared by core-shell method). These fibers were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analytical techniques. XRD results showed better crystalline nature of the materials when calcined at higher temperatures. SEM and TEM results clearly showed the formation of hollow submicrometer tubes. The surface area of the samples determined by BET analysis indicated that hollow fibers have 20 higher surface area than solid fibers. The UV studies indicate better detoxification properties of the hollow fibers compared to solid fibers. © 2012 Satya R.
