Abstract :
Recent research has shown that long, porous nanofibers are one of the safest nanomaterials due to their controllable production, high specific surface area and continuous matrix structure. In this study, following the previous study of the authors, Structural phases of nanofibers were synthesized from combination of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and iron/manganese binary oxide nanoparticles (FMBO) were evaluated. Mineral adsorbents were integrated into polymer matrix in the range of zero to 0.5. The properties of nanofibers according to the structure and surface characteristics using SEM and TEM were determined. In this study, structural phases of PVDF and PVDF/FMBO electrospinning nanofibers were distinguished by examining the FTIR vibration bands and analyzing the XRD characteristics due to the different reports on the analysis of α, β and γ phases according to the measured data. The results of FTIR, specifically by examining bands 762 and 612, 1275 and 1234 cm-1 and its compliance with XRD results and reviewing published research the α, β and γ phases were distinguished, respectively.
