Preparation of Fe3O4@HA@Ag nanocomposites, production of nanofiber with PVP and its characterization

Abstract

Magnetite (Fe3O4), Humic Acid (HA) and Silver (Ag) are materials with important properties. Synthesizing a single material which will have all the properties of these materials can provide significant advantages for some application areas. In this study, synthesized Fe3O4@HA@Ag was doped into poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), in weight ratios of 5%, 7.5% and 10%, and nanofiber production was carried out by electrospinning method. Structural properties of nanofiber structures were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), morphological properties by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), spectroscopic and thermal characterizations by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). When the analysis results of nanofibers were evaluated, it was determined that Fe3O4@HA@Ag doped PVP nanofibers were successfully produced.
