It was found that the formation probability, morphology, and diameter of the resulting PAni-TSA nanofibers were sensitive to the synthetic conditions, such as reaction temperature, the molar ratio of TSA to aniline, and the concentration of TSA in the polymerization media. The molecular structure was characterized by using the FT-IR, Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction, which shows that the main chain structure of PAni-TSA nanofibers was in agreement with that of granular PAni.展开更多

Morphologies, structures and photoluminescent (PL) prop- erties of these straight, helical or wavelike fibers are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence microscopy and a spectrophotometer. It is found that the maximum emission of the as-spun fluorescein/PVP fibers occurs at 510 nm. The PL intensity of the composite fiber increases with fluorescein concentration, then fluorescence quenching appears when the concentration reaches 1.67%. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching of fiuorescein is discussed. In addition, the composite fibers exhibit a much stronger PL intensity than fluorescein/PVP bulk film owing to larger specific surface area, which makes them promising materials for biomedical applications such as probes and sensors.展开更多
