Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Air-stream-assisted electrospinning is a new method combined air blow and electrospinning. It shows ability to make from ultrathin beaded nanofibers to uniform nanofibers by different concentration in PEO solution. For air-driven force, its basic function is to decrease the pressure above the tip to suck the solution up. After our experiment, we also find that air-driven force promotes the speed of liquid jet elongation and rate of solvent evaporation. It has complicated effect on the diameter of nanofibers. We also succeed in making ultrathin nanofibers with diameters less than 10 nm in PVDF solution, after which the ultrathin nanofibers can be used to observe the packing morphology of the PVDF chain by TEM. This indicates that air-stream-assisted electrospinning is an available way to learn characters of polymer.
