Abstract

Copper and alumina oxide ceramic composite nanofibers prepared via electrospinning with polyacrylonitrile, N,N-Dimethylformamide and organic precursors contain aluminum acetate, copper acetate, and nanoparticles of aluminum hydroxide (Boehmite).The composite nanofibrous ceramic with an average diameter of 90 nm and a high level of porosity obtained after passing two thermal post process; stabilization, in order to increase the thermal resistance of polyacrylonitrile and calcination in 600 ̊C to form the desired ceramic phases. Said metal ceramic nanofibers in addition to the properties of nanostructures such as high specific surface, beneficial ceramics feature like the chemical and thermal resistance that these will increase the scope of their applications. To investigate the characteristics of ceramic nanostructured optical microscopy, analysis of XRD, FT-IR, FESEM was conducted which confirms the continuity of nanofibers both before and after calcination, formation of pores on the surface of ceramic nanofibers phases of alumina, copper oxide phase and a combination of them.
