(A) SEM image of composite nanofibers comprised of PVP and amorphous TiO2 electrospun from a PVP solution containing Ti(OiPr)4. (B and C) TEM images of representative composite nanofibers containing well-dispersed Ag nanoparticles fabricated by electrospinning an aqueous PVA solution containing Ag nanoparticles at Ag to PVA molar ratios of (B) 2:530 and (C) 4:530, respectively. (D) SEM image showing the necklace-like structure of a composite fiber comprised of PVA and 0.91 μm SiO2 particles. (E) TEM image of a composite fiber comprised of PVP and Ag nanowires. More than 10 Ag nanowires could be assembled within and aligned along a single fiber. (A) Reprinted with permission from ref 132. Copyright 2003 American Chemical Society.
