Progress in Preparation of Phenolic Fibers by Electrospinning

Abstract:

Phenolic fiber is a versatile material. This article focused on introduction of the progress of generating phenolic fibers using solution electrospinning method and its applications, as well as the trail exploration of preparing phenolic fibers by melt electrospinning. For the research on preparation of phenolic fibers using solution electrospinning, researchers added polymers or additive agents to adjust the viscosity and electrical conductivity of the spinning solution. Then they cured and carbonized the electrospun fibers to reach their varied aims. After these two processes, the brittle nature of the phenolic fibers has been greatly changed. What’s more, the modification makes it easier to be dealed with in the analysis tests and be more suitable to be applied as adsorbent materials, nonconductive materials, and flexible materials.
