The Effect of Calcium Chloride on Polyamide 6 Electrospun Fibers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2) on polyamide 6 (PA6) electrospun fibers were investigated on this study. The interaction between CaCl2 and PA6 could affect the crystaline of PA6. XRD, DSC and FTIR revealed that the crystaline of PA6 reduced with increasing CaCl2. Moreover, the addition of CaCl2 could modify PA6 spinning solution properties, i.e., conductivity, surface tension and viscosity. The interaction between CaCl2 and PA6 has an important influence on morphological appearance and sizes of the resulting PA6 electrospun fibers.
