Abstract

Conductive nanofibers can be produced by
 different methods. In this study, four different methods to fabricate
 conductive nanofibers were explained and supported with experimental results. Nanofibers
 were made conductive by fabricating nanofibers from intrinsically conductive
 polymers (polyaniline/polyethylene oxide nanofiber production), coating the
 non-conductive nanofiber mat with a conductive material (copper electroplating
 of polyacrylonitrile nanofibers), adding a conducting material (carbon black
 nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, ionic liquid) into the spinning solution, and
 heat treatment of the nanofiber mat (carbon and ITO nanofiber production). The
 surface and the electrical properties of the nanofibers were investigated. The
 advantages and disadvantages of the methods were discussed in detail. The
 results showed that conductive nanofibers can be successfully produced with
 different electrical conductivities depending on the method and the material.
