Preparation of PVDF Nanofibrous Membrane and its Waterproof and Breathable Property

Abstract:

PVDF nanofibrous membranes were successfully prepared by electrospinning in this paper, and the component solvent of DMF/acetone was used. The concentration of PVDF and the volume ratio of component solvents of DMF/acetone were the most important variables to affect the morphology, diameter and uniformity of the nanofibers. The concentration of spinning fluid changed from 10 wt% to18 wt% and the volume ratio of DMF/acetone ranged from 2/8 to 8/2. The results of the study showed that the better nanofibrous membrane was prepared when the concentration of PVDF was 12 wt% and the ratio of component solvent DMF/acetone was 6/4. At this moment, the morphology and contact angle of PVDF membrane were better in comparison with other groups. The contact angle, waterproof properties, air permeability were measured, which indicated that the PVDF nanofibrous membrane showed a good air permeability and had an excellent waterproof properties at the same time. In the meantime, by changing the thickness of membrane, we could analyze the relationship between the thickness of the membrane and its breathability and waterproofness.
