N2 - Due to their beneficial characteristics, 1D nanowires have made significant advancements in different realms due to their large surface area, unique surface chemistry, and tunable transport properties. Herein, a comprehensive study of titanium oxide nanowires from titanium (IV) isopropoxide, with the addition of CNTs in the polymeric membrane, has been conducted to form crystals. This method is quite proficient for nanowire synthetization, incorporated with CNTs and polymeric membranes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used to enhance their properties with polymeric polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF membrane. The concentration ratio of titanium oxide in PVDF membrane was 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15%. The development of titanium oxide nanowires at the nano level shaped, as the emulsion electrospinning created 1D nanowires. The use of an additive makes the membrane more conductive. FT-IR, XRD, EDS, and SEM techniques were used for size, surface geometry, crystalline nature, blend membrane, and thin film composition determination. Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) analysis shows that weight loss with temperature increases at optimum level.
