The study is limited by the specific composition of the nanocomposite and the electrospinning conditions used. Potential areas for optimization include the concentration of fullerene C60 and MWCNTs, and the alignment of fibers for improved device performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of a polymer nanocomposite by electrospinning, incorporating fullerene C60 and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into polycaprolactone (PCL). The nanocomposite was characterized for its electrical properties and memory device functionality.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared by dissolving fullerene C60 in xylene, adding PCL, and mixing with a dispersion of MWCNTs in DMF. The resulting solution was electrospun onto interdigitated gold electrodes.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included PCL, fullerene C60, MWCNTs, and various solvents. Equipment included an electrospinner, SEM, HRTEM, DSC, Raman microscope, and electrical characterization setup.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanocomposite was electrospun under optimized conditions, followed by thermal annealing to improve contact between fibers and electrodes. Electrical properties were characterized using voltage sweeps and resistance measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using Image J software for SEM image analysis, and electrical properties were measured using a Keithley 4200 SCS.
