Preparation and Characterization of pH-Responsive Poly(Vinyl-Alcohol)/Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose Nanofibers
Abstract:
pH-sensitivity nanofibers composited of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) were prepared by electrospining. The structure, properties, and morphology of the nanofibers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray differential (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and pH-sensitivity testing. It was found that the reswelling of the nanofibers was pH-responsive and relied on the content of Na-CMC. FTIR spectroscopy of the nanofibers confirmed that hydrogen bonds were formed between PVA and Na-CMC which may cause the stable increase of pH-sensitivity. XRD peaks gradually weakened and broadened with the increase of Na-CMC content, indicating the decrease of crystallinity. Besides, the morphology of the PVA/ Na-CMC nanofibers was affected by the content of Na-CMC.
