摘要
In this work, we report our attempt on the production of well-aligned nanofibers of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) by the introduction of magnetic field in the electric field by placing a cylindrical magnet within the electric field. Well-aligned nanofibers were obtained on top of the magnet. No particular structure could be associated with the other sides of the magnet. The aligned nanofibers were characterized by a host of characterization techniques such as optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The diameter of the PEO nanofibers ranged between 500 and 1000 nm.
