Electrospinning and Characterization Nanofibres of Modified Konjac Glucomannan/PBS

Article Preview

Abstract:

A composite nanofibers of modified konjac glucomannan (MKGM)/PBS were prerared by electrospinning process. The property of electrospinning solution and nanofibers were characterized by rheology, conductivity, surface tension and SEM. The diameter of nanofibers changed with addition of PBS, and the optional ratio for mixing MKGM with PBS is 6:4. The diameter of the nanofibers obtained at that ratio ranged from 236 to 1495nm, and the average diameter was 432nm.
