Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to achieve production and characterization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/zeolite nanofibers via electrospinning technique.Firstly, polymer solutions were prepared with various concentrations of zeolite.Then, solution properties were determined such as; viscosity, conductivity and surface tension.Nanofiber production was carried out with electrospinning under the optimum process parameters (voltage, the distance between the electrodes, feed rate, and atmospheric conditions).Lastly, nanofibers were morphologically characterized by SEM-EDS.According to the results; solution viscosity and surface tension increased while conductivity decreased with zeolite concentration increment.Also, during the spinning process, it was observed that spinning performance decreased and average fiber diameter increased dramatically with zeolite concentration especially for 10 wt % PAN/10 wt % zeolite.Moreover, zeolite particles held on to the nanofibrous structure successfully even at the minimum and maximum concentrations.
