Carbon nanofiber for various applications is being actively investigated while the thermal properties of carbon nanofiber mat with different fiber diameters are not well known. In this paper, carbon nanofiber mats with diameter of 220~1000nm were fabricated via electrospinning method. Then the effects of polyacrylnitrile solution concentration, supplied voltage, and spinning distance on fiber diameter were studied. According to the results of thermal properties measurements by laser flash technique, the carbon nanofiber mats possess great potentials in applications for thermal management materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
