Abstract

In this study, photo cross-linked thiophene based nanofibers were prepared by utilizing UV and electrospinning technique at the same time. For this purpose 3-(ethyl acrylate) thiophene (AC-TP) and 3-( ethyl maleate) thiophene (MA-TP) were synthesized and polymerized to have Poly[3-(ethyl acrylate) thiophene] (P(AC-TP)) and Poly[3-(ethyl maleate) thiophene] (P(MA-TP)).
