The electrical characteristics of nylon-6 nanofibers incorporated with TiO2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were investigated. The resultant nanofibers exhibited good incorporation of nanoparticles. The impregnated TiO2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles into the nylon-6 nanofibers were confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy studies. The electrical conductivity of the nylon-6 incorporated with TiO2 and Fe3O4 composite nanofibers were higher than that of the pristine nylon-6 nanofibers. The impregnation of TiO2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles significantly enhanced the electrical property of the composite nanofibers. These polymeric/nanoparticles composite nanofibers structure may open a new direction for future organic electronics. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
