Sol-Gel Derived SnO2 Nanometric Fibers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The applicability of Sn(OBu)4 based viscous oligomeric concentrates in fabrication of thin oxide fibers and needles is demonstrated. Influence of several crucial parameters like viscosity of the concentrate, humidity of surrounding atmosphere and pulling speed on formation of the structures is discussed. We show that the method enables to obtain fibers less than a micron in diameter and needles with tip radii down to 15 nm, i.e. in range that is of considerable interest for many nanotechnological applications.
