Fabrication of $V_2O_5$ Nanowire/PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Composites for the Electric Applications

nanowire / polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer composite fibers were fabricated by a new simple method. The reaction of PVA and acetone facilitates the formation of the polymer membrane which can be used to make the fiber. Composite fiber is percolative in the conductance because of the low percolation threshold in nanowire networks. The fiber composite can be applied to the electromagnetic shielding originating from the conductive nature.
