Multifunctional Carbon Nanofibers with Conductive, Magnetic and Superhydrophobic Properties

Abstract

Multifunctional carbon nanofibers (CNFs, see picture), fabricated by a simple electrospinning method, show not only outstanding conductive and magnetic but also superhydrophobic characteristics, which make these materials attractive for the application as corrosive protection and electromagnetic shielding coating. The conductive and magnetic properties of these materials are maintained by the superhydrophobic surfaces.
