Study on the Poly (ether sulfone) Microfibers

Abstract:

Microfibers have huge potential applications in many fields due to their unique properties. However, the high performance thermoplstic microfibers were rarely reported. In this work, Poly (ether sulfone) Microfibers were first successfully prepared by melt extrusion of immiscible blends of PES, Polyamide 6 ( PA6 ), and subsequent removal of PA6 component. The morphologies of the PES microfibers were characterized by SEM. The experimental results showed the PES microfibers exhibited interconnected structures between the fibers and the average diameter was about 150 nm. The present PES microfiber may be applied to the development of ultrafiltration membranes materials.
