Modeling of nanofibers interaction with the environment
Klicmanová, I. ; Sveshnikov, Alexey
Nanomaterials change our life. Every day they find applications in new branches of technology. At the same time, some branches of technology, like civil engineering, are rather conservative and do not accept new approaches lightly. Nanotextiles exhibit a number of qualities that make them a promising material for civil engineering applications. They can potentially play a role of filters, protective layers, armature and others. Properties of the nanotextiles can be significantly influenced by parameters of technological process. Pure experimental search of the optimal technological parameters to achieve the desired properties of the final material can be very tedious. Thus, a theoretical dependence of the properties of the nanotextile on parameters of the technological process must be established. Two independent tasks must be solved for this: the dependence of nanotextile structure on technological parameters, and determination of physical, chemical or biological properties of a nanotextile of a given structure. In this paper we discuss steps necessary for the solution of the second task.

Initial study of structure of nanofiber textiles and the creation of its model
Havrlík, M. ; Sveshnikov, Alexey
In this research, the structure of the fabrics was analyzed using an electron scanning microscope Tescan Maia 3. Two sets of the experiments have been carried out. In the first experiment the surface structure of the samples was studied. Photos created by SEM were analyzed using program Atlas and image editor GIMP. In this set of the experiments the initial parameters for the creation of a digital 2D model of a single layer have been determined (fiber size distribution, pore size and curvature of the fibers). In the second set of the experiments cross sections of nanofiber textiles were made in order to study the inner structure of the fabric. This information allows evaluation of the total number of 2D layers in the model and, thus, is very important for future creation of a 3D model of the fabric.
