Abstract

In this undertaking, nanofibers anatase stage titanium dioxide (TiO2) was effectively manufactured utilizing the electrospinning (ES) technique natively constructed. This investigation intended to manufacture uniform and great anatase TiO2/PVP nanofibers (NFs) on glass substrate utilizing a minimal effort method and to decide the ideal conditions for uniform anatase TiO2/PVP NFs. Are investigated, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show sharp and well-defined peaks identified as anatase phase, once again, the relative intensity of peaks varies with distance difference has been studied. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images reveal the formation of nanofibers. Surface topography observations by atom force microscopy (AFM) indicates that the roughness is improved by an effect of the parameter selected. Results show that the nanofibers, that good for application towards biosensors better than previous studies due to nanostructure.
