Abstract

This study aimed to find the optimum conditions for synthesis silica nanofibers from the mixture of graphite and silicon dioxide. The ratio of silicon dioxide at 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by weight were used. A current heating technique was use for synthesis silica nanofibers in inert gas. A chemical composition and microstructure of silica nanofibers were characterization by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). It was found that, silica nanofibers were smooth and long, diameter about 50-90 nm and the length more than 20 µm were obtained. At 20 wt% of silicon dioxide is the best condition for synthesis silica nanofiber. Because of, the maximum amount of synthesized nanofibers is 10 percent.
