Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Electrospun fibers of diameters in the range between 1 nm to 10 μm, with micro-phase separation, particle encapsulation, desired fiber patterns from controlled fiber deposition or harnessed jet instabilities et al., form three-dimensional hierarchical structures. Nanofiber coil or/and zigzag patterns with characteristics of continuous structural chirality can be coated with electric conductors, metals, or magnetic coatings to direct electromagnetic waves or photons. Ultrathin polymer fibers with high ratio of surface area to mass have been serving as building blocks in the filtration materials. Key properties of filter structures, for example, the pressure drop under high fluid velocity, are dictated by the mechanical properties of the constituent materials. Strategies for ultrathin conformal bio-integrated filters must overcome challenges associated with the difference in mechanics at the biotic/abiotic interfaces. A simple, rapid and cost-effective characterization method for mechanical properties of electrospun nanofibers revealed by interaction with streams of air has been developed for sorting materials for the design of filters as well as biomaterials.
