Phase separation structure in poly(vinyl alcohol)/silk fibroin blend films

Blend films of a commercial poly(vinyl alcohol) (a-PVA) derived from vinyl acetate and silk fibroin (SF) obtained from degummed silk were prepared by mixing the aqueous solutions of both samples. A plain weave structure was recognized only in the blend films, whereas no structure was found for the superimposed films of both samples. The phase separation structure of the blend films was examined by microscopic observations elongation, tensile tests, and IR measurements. The microphase separation region increased with increase in the degree of polymerization of the PVA. In the IR spectra of the blend films with high PVA contents cast under certain conditions, the absorption peak attributed to the cross-β-form conformation of SF appeared strongly. Gelatin, a water-soluble and natural polymer, was also used for comparison with SF. The ternary phase diagram in an a-PVA/gelatin/H₂O system was obtained experimentally and the critical point was used to estimate the interaction parameter between PVA and gelatin molecules. The phase separation structure and the interaction between PVA and SF molecules were also discussed taking into consideration the results of the a-PVA/gelatin system. © 1998 SCI.     

Rheological properties of high molecular weight (HMW) syndiotactic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/HMW atactic PVA blend solutions

To identify the effect of blend ratios of syndiotacticity‐rich poly(vinyl alcohol) (s‐PVA)/atactic PVA (a‐PVA) having similar number‐average degrees of polymerization (P_n)s of 4000 and degrees of saponification (DS)s of 99.9% on the rheological properties of s‐PVA/a‐PVA/water solutions, water‐soluble s‐PVA and a‐PVA with different syndiotactic diad contents of 58.5 and 54.0%, respectively, were prepared by bulk copolymerization of vinyl pivalate and vinyl acetate (VAc) and solution polymerization of VAc, followed by saponifying the corresponding copoly(vinyl pivalate/vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl acetate). The blend ratios played a significant role in rheological behavior. Over the frequency range of 10^?1–10² rad/s, s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend solutions with larger s‐PVA content show more shear thinning at similar (P_n)s and (DS)s of polymer, suggesting that PVA molecules are more readily oriented as s‐PVA content increases. Yield stress is higher for s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend solutions with larger s‐PVA content at similar (P_n)s and (DS)s of polymer. This indicates that more domains with internal order are produced at larger s‐PVA content in s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend solutions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 3934–3939, 2006     

Electrospinning fabrication and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol)/layered double hydroxides composite fibers

Nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/layered double hydroxide (Mg‐Al LDH) composites are prepared by the electrostatic fiber spinning using water as the solvent at a high voltage of 21 kV. Either inorganic LDH carbonate (LDH‐CO₃) or L ‐lactic acid‐modified LDH (Lact‐LDH) is used for incorporating with PVA. Scanning electron microscopy SEM investigations on the nanofibers suggest that the average diameters of PVA/LDH composite fibers are smaller than that of neat PVA. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations indicate that the dispersity of the LDH in PVA matrix is much improved after modification with L ‐lactic acid. The mechanical properties of the PVA/LDH fibers are obviously enhanced compared to that of neat PVA. For example, the tensile stress and elongation at break of the PVA/Lact‐LDH electrospun fibrous mat with 5 wt % Lact‐LDH are 31.7 MPa and 36.7%, respectively, which are significantly higher than those of neat PVA, and also higher than those of PVA/LDH‐CO₃ owing to the better dispersity of Lact‐LDH nanoparticles. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Role of molecular weight of atactic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in the structure and properties of PVA nanofabric prepared by electrospinning

Atactic poly(vinyl alcohols) (a‐PVAs) having number‐average degrees of polymerization [(P_n)s] of 1700 and 4000 were prepared by the solution polymerization of vinyl acetate, which was followed by the saponification of poly(vinyl acetate) to investigate the effects of molecular weights of a‐PVA on the characteristics of electrospun a‐PVA nanofabrics. A‐PVA nanofabrics were prepared by electrospinning with controlling the process parameters including the electrical field, conductivity, tip‐to‐collector distance, and solution concentration. Through a series of characterization experiments, we identified that the molecular weight of a‐PVA had a marked influence on the structure and properties of nanofabrics produced. That is, the higher the molecular weight of PVA, the superior the physical properties of PVA nanofabric. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 1638–1646, 2004     

Electrospinning fabrication and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol)/waterborne polyurethane nanofiber membranes in aqueous solution

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) nanofiber mats were prepared using electrospinning method with aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), and tensile strength testing machine (ZWICK) were used to characterize the morphology and properties of the PVA/WBPU nanofiber mats. The results showed that the morphologies of PVA/WBPU nanofiber mats changed with the total solid concentration and the mass ratio of PVA/WBPU in the spinning solution. The tensile strength and thermal stability of the fibers could be significantly affected by the WBPU contents. The electrospun PVA/WBPU membranes showed higher water uptake, which would have potential applications in wound dressings. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

Electrospinning fabrication and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite nanofiber mats

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/montmorillonite clay (MMT) nanofiber mats have been fabricated by the electrospinning technique. The PVA/MMT nanofiber mats were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and mechanical measurements. The study showed that the introduction of MMT results in improvement in tensile strength, and thermal stability of the PVA matrix. XRD patterns and SEM micrographs suggest the coexistence of exfoliated MMT layers over the studied MMT contents. FTIR revealed that there might be possible interaction occurred between the MMT clay and PVA matrix. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

Nanofibrous scaffold prepared by electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol)/gelatin aqueous solutions

A series of nanofibrous scaffolds were prepared by electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/gelatin aqueous solution. PVA and gelatin was dissolved in pure water and blended in full range, then being electrospun to prepared nanofibers, followed by being crosslinked with glutaraldehyde vapor and heat treatment to form nanofibrous scaffold. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images of the nanofibers manifested that the fiber average diameters decreased from 290 to 90 nm with the increasing of gelatin. In vitro degradation rates of the nanofibers were also correlated with the composition and physical properties of electrospinning solutions. Cytocompatibility of the scaffolds was evaluated by cells morphology and MTT assay. The FESEM images revealed that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts spread and elongated actively on the scaffolds with spindle‐like and star‐type shape. The results of cell attachment and proliferation on the nanofibrous scaffolds suggested that the cytotoxicity of all samples are grade 1 or grade 0, indicating that the material had sound biosafety as biomaterials. Compared with pure PVA and gelatin scaffolds, the hybrid ones possess improved biocompatibility and controllability. These results indicate that the PVA/gelatin nanofibrous have potential as skin scaffolds or wound dressing. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

Preparation of atactic poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate blend nanowebs by electrospinning

Through the blending of a rigid polymer, sodium alginate (SA), and a flexible polymer, atactic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), with various ratios of SA and PVA and through the electrospinning of SA/PVA solutions, SA/PVA blend nanowebs were successfully prepared. The structure and morphology of the SA/PVA blend nanowebs were investigated through a series of instrumental analyses. Through the examination of the morphological variations of each blend web, it was found that with only PVA, the electrospun nanowebs had very uniform and fine fiber structures, but the SA/PVA blend nanowebs had a mixture of large beads and fibers, which were generated with increasing SA content. A thermal analysis indicated that the endothermic peaks of the SA/PVA blend nanowebs decreased with an increase in the SA content. The SA content was determined by the observation of the changes in the SA peak intensity via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The tensile strength decreased with increasing SA content. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Water stability of high‐molecular‐weight (HMW) syndiotacticity‐rich poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/HMW atactic PVA/iodine complex blend films

To precisely identify the effect of blend ratios of syndiotacticity‐rich poly(vinyl alcohol) (s‐PVA)/atactic PVA (a‐PVA) on the water stability of s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine complex blend films, we prepared two PVAs with similar number‐averaged degrees of polymerization of 4000 and degrees of saponification of 99.9% and with different syndiotactic diad contents of 58.5 and 53.5%, respectively. The desorption behavior of iodine in s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine complex films in water was investigated in terms of the solubility of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films in water. The degree of solubility of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films with s‐PVA content over 50% in water at 70°C was limited to about 10–20%, whereas that of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films with s‐PVA content of 10% was 85% under the same conditions. The degree of iodine desorption of complex blend films decreased with increasing s‐PVA content. The degree of iodine desorption of s‐PVA/a‐PVA drawn film with s‐PVA content of 90% was limited to 7%, regardless of the soaking temperature from 30 to 70°C. The desorption of iodine in water was strongly affected by the dissolution of blends. Moreover, the stability of iodine in the drawn s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine blend films in hot water was far superior to that of the undrawn film. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
