摘要

This study employs a Taguchi-based method to optimize electrospinning parameters for PAN/ZnO nanofibers, ensuring precise control over their diameter. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array minimizes experimental iterations while identifying optimal conditions: a flow rate of 0.5 ml/hr, applied voltage of 25 kV, needle-to-collector distance of 9 cm, and PAN:ZnO ratio of 50:50. The predicted nanofiber diameters of 79.88 nm were experimentally validated as 84.77 nm, showing only a 6.11% deviation. Characterization techniques like XRD, FTIR, and SEM confirmed the crystalline structure, functional groups, and morphology of nanofibers. The study demonstrates the Taguchi method’s efficiency in optimizing electrospinning processes for advanced material fabrication, with promising applications in energy storage, sensors, and biomedical technologies.
