Growth of ZnO nanowires on nonwoven polyethylene fibers

Growth of ZnO nanowires on nonwoven polyethylene fibers

We report the growth of ZnO nanowires on nonwoven polyethylene fibers using a simple hydrothermal method at a temperature below the boiling point of water. The ZnO nanowires were grown from seed ZnO nanoparticles affixed onto the fibers. The seed ZnO nanoparticles, with diameters of about 6–7 nm, we...
