In the first step, nylon66 (polymeric organic core) nanofibers having different average fiber diameters (∼100 nm, ∼250 nm and ∼650 nm) were electrospun by using different solvent systems and polymer concentrations. In the second step, uniform and conformal layer of zinc oxide (ZnO) (inorganic shell) with precise thickness (∼90 nm) and composition on the round surface of the nylon nanofibers were deposited by ALD. The core-shell nylon66-ZnO nanofibers have shown unique properties such as structural flexibility due to the polymeric core and photocatalytic activity due to the ZnO shell layer.EnglishAtomic layer depositionCore-shell nanofiberElectrospinningPhotocatalytic activityZinc oxideAverage fiber diametersCore-shellDifferent solventsElectrospunsOrganic-inorganicPhotocatalytic activitiesPolymer concentrationsStructural flexibilitiesZinc oxide (ZnO)ZnOZnO shellsAtomic layer depositionComplexationElectrospinningExhibitionsFilmsNanocomposite filmsNanofibersPhotocatalysisPolymersShells (structures)Zinc oxideNanotechnologyConference Paper
