Preparation and characterization of chitosan/poly(Vinyl alcohol)/poly(Vinyl pyrrolidone) electrospun fibers

摘要

Ultrafine fibers of chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (CS/PVA/PVP) were prepared via electrospinning.The structure and morphology of CS/PVA/PVP ultrafine fibers was characterized by the Fourier transform inflared (FT-IR) spectroscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM).Furthermore.the effects of the concentration of PVA,PVP and the electrospinning voltage on the morphology of ultrafine fibers were investigated by the SEM.When the concentration of PVA was at the range of 30wt%-40wt%,ultrafine fibers could be obtained.The diameter distributions of ultrafine fibers decreased when the electrospinning voltage increased from 20to 30kV. The rough surface fibers could be obtained after etching with CHCl3.
