Research on Electrospinning Process of Pullulan Nanofibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of pullulan biopolymer nanofibers with diameter of 100~700nm were obtained using redistilled water as solvent through electrospinning technology in this paper. The effects of the spinning solution concentration, applied voltage, flow rate and capillary–screen distance on morphology and diameter distribution of pullulan nanofiber were studied by SEM. The results show that, different parameters had great influence on nanofibers’ morphology and diameter. The optimal parameters of pullulan nanofibers electrospinning were: 22wt.% spinning solution concentration, 31 kV voltage, 20 cm capillary–screen distance and 0.5ml/h flow rate.
