A study of sulfuric and Acetic acid effect on vertically aligned carbon Nanofibers for bio/chemical sensors development

Materials behave differently with different chemicals. Carbon Nanofibers are no exclusion for this. During the fabrication process of carbon nanofibers, the chips are treated with a lot of chemicals including a variety of acids. Thus with a better understanding about the fibers behavior in the presence of commonly used acids will give us edge in the development of the well defined fibers. In our previous papers, we have discussed about the effects of Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) on the carbon nanofibers dimensions. In this paper, impact of sulfuric and Acetic acid are discussed and statistically analyzed.
