Abstract:

Considerable attention has been paid to hybrid organic–inorganic nanocomposites in recent years. Organic–inorganic hybrids have both the advantages of organic materials, such as a light weight, flexibility and good moldability, and inorganic materials, such as high strength, heat stability and chemical resistance. In this work, a polyvinyl acetate (PVAc)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) organic-inorganic hybrid was prepared by the sol–gel technique. Electrospinning was used to fabricate PVAc/TiO2 hybrid nanofibres. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was employed to study the morphology of the hybrid nanofibres. The mechanical and thermal properties were examined by an electronic tensile instrument and thermo gravimetric analyser (TGA), respectively. The results indicated that the mechanical and thermal properties were improved with TiO2 included in the hybrids.
