Solution Blow Spun High Performance Co-Polyimide Nanofibers

Abstract:

Solution blow spinning (SBS) is an innovative nanofiber fabricating method with high productivity. 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) / p-phenylenediamine (PDA) / 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA) co-polyimide nanofiber membrane was efficiently produced by SBS followed by imidization from precursor polyamic acid (PAA) nanofiber membrane in the paper. The morphologies and structures of the obtained PAA and PI nanofiber membrane were examined by SEM and FT-IR. The effect of thermal imidization temperature on the tensile property was investigated. The thermal stability of polyimide nanofiber membrane was also characterized by TGA.
