Preparation of Nanoporous Fibers of BaTiO3 via Electrospinning of BaTiO3/PVC and Thermal Treatment Effects

Preparations of barium titanate microfibers made by electrospinning using a suspension of BaTiO3/PVC resin solution are described in this paper. The electrospun fibrous membrane of ceramic/PVC composite was heat treated at 600 degrees C, 800 degrees C and 1000 degrees C for 1hr in air to remove organic components. The morphology and compositions at room temperature and the caused by effect of calcination on the fibrous membrane BaTiO3/PVC composite were investigated by SEM and ZAF. Typical fiber diameter was obtained between 14m and 20m with fibers lengths exceeding 500m with nanoporous whose diameters were formed between 350nm and 700nm into the microfibers.
