Fibers from polymer nanoclay nanocomposites by electrospinning

摘要

Thermoplastic polymer nanoclay nanocomposite fiber has silicate layers axially aligned through the fiber and enhanced crystallinity and average diameter ranging from 50 nm to 5 μm is produced by solution electrospinning or melt electrospinning where polarity and electric field in the spinning zone are provided so as to potentiate the axial alignment and solidification of polymer is controlled to potentiate increase in crystallinity.
