Effect of Solution Properties on Electrospun Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Nanofibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of novel biodegradable Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) nanofibers using a mixture of Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent were prepared by electrospinning process in this paper. The morphology of electrospun CPVC nanofiber nonwovens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the morphology and diameter of the electrospun fibers were influenced by CPVC solution concentration and the THF amount in the mixed solvents, and the finer and uniform nanofibers were electrospun from a mixed solvent of DMF and THF with ratio of 3/1(w/w).
