Abstract

In this study, polymer micro- and nanocomposite fibers with PBI and PEI as polymer, and exfoliated graphite and nitroxide-functionalized graphene oxides have been prepared. Electrospinning has been chosen as a fiber processing technique. This work describes the electrospinning process of the mentioned polymer fibers and composite fibers followed by their characterization by XRD, ATR, SEM, TGA, DSC and Tensile testing.
