Unique Applications of Thermoplastic Nanofibers and Nanofibrous Membranes

摘要

Thermoplastic polyolefin nanofibers were prepared through melt extruding a blend of the polymer with cellulose acetate butyrate using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The nanofibers were then easily dispersed and spray-coated onto fibrous supporting materials as nanofibrous membranes with high surface areas. The nanofibrous membranes were the chemically modified with different functional moieties, which all demonstrated unique and desired biological and chemical functions.
