Abstract:

The poly (lactic acid) (PLA) fiber of biodegradable polymer was fabricated by cotton candy method with small nozzle. The air pressure was varied from 0.2-0.5 MPa with nozzle temperature of 210-260°C. The morphology of fiber was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thermal properties were examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). SEM results suggested that diameters the PLA fiber at temperature 250°C and air pressure of 0.2 MPa were smaller than the fiber at low and high temperature. The sizes of the fibers were lower than 1 μm and the fibers were irregular size. Crystallinity significantly decreased when increasing barrel temperatures while it slightly changed when varied air pressure. The productivity of PLA fibers was around 30-180 g/h depended on controlled the nozzle temperature and the air pressure.
