Abstract
The europium ion (Eu3+) is well acknowledged and more popular for its strong luminescence when it is compared with other RE ions. Here we report the comparative study of electrospun polymer nanofibers by using europium and europium complex Eu(TTA)3phen by electrospinning technique. Electrospun fibers of Europium chloride and Europium complex Eu(TTA)3phen were prepared by using polymer PVDF to study the photoluminescence properties. Photoluminescence spectra of these electrospun nanofibers show very high intense red emission because of the strong hypersensitive behaviour of the 5D0 → 7F2 transition. These electrospun nanofibers are very much useful in the latest technology of Smart Textiles, for developing protective fabrics with thermal comfort. These fabrics also used to defend from wide variety of environmental hazards. This paper highlights the promising applications of electrospinning for developing protective fabrics and also shows the potential application in various polymer optoelectronic devices.
