The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a master's degree to the student, Fatima Mohammed Yahya, Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, On Sunday, 12/1/2024, for his thesis titled

 "Characterization of the Prepared Carbon Noanfibers CNFs as Biomaterials

Abstract:

The study aimed to fabricate modified carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using the electrospinning technique, followed by stabilization at 275°C and carbonization at 1000°C. The results revealed that the addition of CNTs reduced the shrinkage rate compared to conventional carbon nanofibers. FTIR and XRD analyses confirmed the effectiveness of the stabilization and carbonization processes. Furthermore, Raman analysis showed an improvement in graphitic crystallinity, with a decrease in the ID/IG ratio from 1.2 to 1.1. Additionally, the modified fibers exhibited a lower water contact angle, making them suitable for tissue engineering applications, along with enhanced electrical conductivity.
