Preparation and Characterization on PU/CS Nanofiber Membrane

Abstract:

PU/CS nanofiber membrane was prepared by means of electrostatic spinning. The morphology of nanofiber membrane was examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the mechanical property, water absorption, moisture permeability and antibacterial performance were also investigated. The results show that the diameter and mechanical property of PU/CS nanofiber decreased with the increase of the content of CS. However, the water absorption, moisture permeability and antibacterial performance were improved significantly with the addition of CS.
