dc.description.abstractPolyethylene oxide solution containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been electrospun onto a rotating collector to produce highly aligned arrays of electrospun nanofibers ranging in diameters from (200 - 360) nanometres. The addition of a surfactant (Triton X-100) is highly effective in dispersing carbon nanotube within an aqueous solution of polyethylene oxide and the resulting mixture can be electrospun without excessive clumping to produce nanofibers containing high loadings of nanotubes; in this case up to 5% wt thereby providing an effective route to electrically conductive nanofibres.eng

The research leading to these results was in part funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007- 2013) under grant agreement n° 263017, Project “NanoCelluComp“. Part of the work of GRM was support by the FCT (Portugal). The electron microscopy was performed in the Centre for Advanced Microscopy at the University of Reading and we thank Dr Peter Harris and Matthew Spink for their help.
