Popis: PVA-ZnO composite nanofibers were successfully fabricated by electrospinning method. The effect of the deposition distance (the distance between the needle tip to the substrate) on the fiber diameter was investigated. The distance was varied from 4 cm to 20 cm and it was found out that the fiber diameter decreased as the distance increased. The fiber diameter was in the range of 156 to 251 nm with the finest fiber film was obtained for the distance of 20 cm. The presence of ZnO particles were confirmed with XRD characterization performed in which all PVA-ZnO composite samples displayed typical ZnO XRD peaks 32°, 34° and 36° that corresponded to Miller indices of (100), (002) and (101) of ZnO yet the peaks are more apparent at sample fabricated at the closer distance of 4 cm and 8 cm.
