Özet

Nanotechnology can control the atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels of matter. As the size of a particle goes downto nano-size, materials exhibits good characteristics in terms of electronics, optic, thermal, magnetic and fotocatalysisproperties. The nano composite fibers comprise of finely dispersed flakes of the second phase inorganic material with nylonor polyester type fiber forming polymers. Nano-fiber based materials obtained by the method of electrospining in the interestof the outstanding features has increased due to the common application areas of filtration, composites, medicine. In thisresearch, we produced nano composites at 0.50 1, 2, and 4 % ratio using polycaprolactone (PCL) and titanium dioxide(TiO2). Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to analyzetitanium dioxide nano fibers.
