Production and characterization of hybrid BEH-PPV/PEO conjugated polymer nanofibers by forcespinning

The fabrication of hybrid poly(2,5‐bis(2′‐ethyl‐hexyl)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene) (BEH‐PPV) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers is reported. Nanofibers were created using a novel production method that uses centrifugal rather than electrostatic force to produce nanofibers. The nanofiber production m...

Zusammenfassung:	The fabrication of hybrid poly(2,5‐bis(2′‐ethyl‐hexyl)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene) (BEH‐PPV) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers is reported. Nanofibers were created using a novel production method that uses centrifugal rather than electrostatic force to produce nanofibers. The nanofiber production method exhibits high yield production of nanofibers enabling mass‐production capabilities. Thermo‐physical characterization and X‐ray diffraction of bulk PEO and BEH‐PPV was conducted, and the results are compared with the produced hybrid nanofibers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
