Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article, the electrospinning process for Silica nanoparticles reinforced Nylon 6 nanofiber composite mats is investigated. More specifically, the effect of Nylon 6/Formic Acid concentration and silica weight fraction on the solution viscosity and the properties of the end product is studied. Rheological measurements were conducted to investigate the solutions’ viscosity, and scanning electron microscope was used to characterize the morphology and dimensions of the nanofibers. Energy dispersion X-ray was used to prove that silica nanoparticles are well distributed within the nanofibers. Finally, surface roughness and porosity of the mats were measured. It was found that when Nylon 6/Formic Acid concentration increased from 15 to 20 wt%, solution viscosity increased by 0.63 Pa·s, which leads to the increase in average fiber diameter from 103 to 160 nm. Also, when silica increased by 6%, highest viscosity increase was 0.1 Pa·s, while average fiber diameter increased for around 5 nm. In addition, protuberances or small silica beads are observed when silica weight fraction is increased above a critical value. The porosity remains unchanged while surface roughness increased by increasing silica weight fraction and decreasing Nylon 6 concentration. This study outlines the successful fabrication of bead-free Silica reinforced Nylon 6 nanofibers and their mats via electrospinning. Good control over processing parameters results in tailorability of size, morphology, and surface roughness of the end products.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
