[0050] In the application disclosed under the invention, in the first step Poly (Acrylonitrile-co-Itaconic Acid) P(AN-co-IA) co-polymer (matrix) is obtained by polymerization of acrylonitrile and itaconic acid monomers emulsion in water medium by use of polymerization.

[0051] Formula concerning said components is shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5.

[0052] Then Poly (Acrylonitrile-co-Itaconic Acid)/Poly (3-methoxthiophene) nano-composite structure is obtained by covering 3-methoxthiophene monomer on P(AN-co-IA) copolymer (matrix) by in-situ polymerization method.

[0053] Then the nano composite solution is settled, dried and transforming into powder form. In stage of nanofiber production, Poly (Acrylonitrile-co-Itaconic Acid)/Poly(3-methoxthiophene) polymer settled and dried to prepare solution in N, N Dimethylformamide (DMF) is dissolved in a manner to have 5% by mass, and then nanofiber production is provided by applying electrospinning method.

Total 0.1% mol monomer-Acrylonitrile (AN) and Itaconic Acid (IA) is used.
