Preparation and Characterization of Electrospun Poly (Vinyl Chloride)/ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes Nanofibers
Abstract
The aim of this work is preparation of poly(vinyl chloride)/thermoplastic polyurethanes (PVC/TPUs) nanofibers by electrospinning method. Preparation of poly(vinyl chloride) and thermoplastic polyurethanes solution at 15% w/w and 10% w/w, respectively. Electrospinning was performed at flow rate 5 mL/h., applied voltage 12 kV. and tip to collector 18 cm. for 8 hr. to form thin film with thickness approximately not over than 0.1 mm. It was found that PVC/TPUs characteristic of miscible blend and homogeneous phase observed via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) resulting in a higher of tensile strength when addition of TPUs and the surface topography of the nanofibers was examined by using scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the diameter of nanofibers increasing with increasing the amount of TPUs. Keywords : electrospinning, nanofiber, poly(vinyl chloride), polyurethaneReferences
