In this research, magnetic nanofibers were fabricated using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a shelter for( -Fe2O3) magnetic nanoparticles suspension. Two level full factorial experiments with center and augmented axial points were performed where process parameters studied were flow rate, applied voltage, distance between needle and collector, and collector rotating speed. The response variables analyzed were morphology and fiber diameter distribution. The model obtained from the experimental design revealed that the flow rate, voltage, the 2-way interaction of these factors and the second order...

Magnetic nanofibers are potentially useful for composite reinforcement, biomechanic and protective shield industries. Nanofibers with the thinner diameter have to result in higher tensile strength due to better alignments of lamellae along the fiber axis. In this book, the performance of electrospinning process was explained using response surface methodology (RSM) during fabrication of magnetic nanofibers using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a shelter for maghemite where the parameters investigated were flow rate, applied voltage, gap between needle and collector and drum collector rotating...
