Reactive electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers

We aim to couple the electrospinning in‐line with solution chemistry to fabricate novel crosslinked polymer nanofibers. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as a model polymer due to its high amount of hydroxyl groups. To obtain ideal parameters for electrospinning, pure PVA was explored primarily. To gain crosslinked fibers, PVA was first crosslinked partially with glutaraldehyde (GA) followed by transferring this precursor to a long hot tube which was used as reactor and then electrospun right before gelation. The preheating time and tube‐passing time were determined with viscometer and rheometer. The reactive as‐spun fibers could maintain their original morphology after water immersion due to their high crosslinking degree. The thermal stability and mechanical property of reactive as‐spun fibers were improved drastically compared with pure and GA vapor crosslinked PVA fibers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of the tacticities of poly(vinyl alcohol) on the structure and morphology of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanowebs prepared by electrospinning

The effects of tacticities on the characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanowebs prepared by an electrospinning technique were investigated. PVA webs composed of uniform nanofibers with syndiotactic dyad (s‐dyad) contents of 53.5 and 57.3% were successfully obtained with electrospinning. By changing processing parameters such as the initial polymer concentration, applied voltage, and tip‐to‐collector distance, we found suitable conditions for forming PVA webs with uniform nanofibers. PVAs of higher s‐dyad contents were prepared at a lower solution concentration and at a higher applied voltage because of the easy formation of syndiotactic PVA chain entanglements at a very low polymer concentration. The average diameter of the nanofibers in a PVA web with the higher s‐dyad content of 57.3% (ca. 240 nm) was thinner than that of the nanofibers in a PVA web with the lowers‐dyad content of 53.5% (ca. 270 nm). In addition, the crystallinity and thermal stability were greatly increased with an increase in the s‐dyad content. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Preparation and characterization of graphene oxide/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite nanofibers via electrospinning

Graphene oxide (GO) was well dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) diluted aqueous solution, and then the mixture was electrospun into GO/PVA composite nanofibers. Electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy on the as‐prepared and calcined samples confirm the uniform distribution of GO sheets in the nanofibers. The thermal and mechanical properties of the nanofibers vary considerably with different GO filler contents. The decomposition temperatures of the GO/PVA composite nanofiber dropped by 38–50°C compared with pure PVA. A very small loading of 0.02 wt % GO increases the tensile strength of the nanofibers by 42 times. A porous 3D structure was realized by postcalcining nanofibers in H₂. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Role of specific interactions on fiber formation in the electrospinning of poly(vinyl phenol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) blend solutions

The minimum concentration (C_i) required for electrospinning polymeric fibers from solutions of mixtures of poly(vinyl phenol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) has been experimentally determined for different blend compositions. This minimum concentration C_i has its lowest value when the polymers are mixed in a 1/1 molar ratio. This article shows different results that seem to indicate that the strong hydrogen bonding interactions between the two polymers and the corresponding higher apparent molecular weight cause the reduction of the C_i value. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofiber mats: A revisit

Electrospinning was used to fabricate mats of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA; M_w = 72,000 Da, degree of hydrolysis ≈ 97.5–99.5) nanofibers from PVA solutions in reverse osmotic water. The effects of solution concentration, applied electrical potential, sonication, and collection distance on morphological appearance and diameters of the as‐spun fiber mats as well as those of the individual fibers were carefully investigated mainly by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of the distance from the center of the as‐spun fiber mat on morphological appearance and diameters of the as‐spun fibers was also investigated. The mechanical integrity of some as‐spun PVA fiber mats was also investigated. At all concentrations and applied electrical potentials investigated, the average diameters of the as‐spun PVA fibers ranged between 85 and 647 nm. The use of sonication to prepare a PVA solution caused the viscosity of the solution to decrease; hence, the observed decrease in the average diameters of the as‐spun fibers and the average diameters of the as‐spun fibers were practically the same throughout the as‐spun fiber mat. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fabrication of superhydrophobic and self cleaning PVA-silica fiber coating on 304L SS surfaces by electrospinning

In this work superhydrophobic coating with self cleaning property is fabricated on 304L SS samples directly using a simple one step electrospinning process followed by silane treatment by using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and tetraethyl orthosilicate solution. A maximum water contact angle of 169.2° ± 2.1° is obtained at an electrospinning potential of 15 kV for 2 h, with a distance of 18 cm between the collector and needle. The hierarchical nanostructures thus formed on 304L SS composed of poly(vinyl alcohol)-silica microbeads and nanofibers. The surface morphologies are optimized by varying the electrospinning voltage, time, distance between needle and the collector and aging duration of the precursors. Attenuated total reflectance-infrared spectroscopy studies at different stages of preparation confirmed the presence of PVA/SiO₂ composite nanofibers deposited on the 304L SS surface. The reaction of SiO₂ nanofibers with hexamethyl disilazane resulted in the formation of Si O Si bonds that provided water repellent property. The developed SHP surface coating on 304L SS sample showed dynamic bouncing of water droplets and excellent self cleaning performance. The sample retained the SHP behavior in chloride solutions with different ionic strengths and pH.     

One-step fabrication of branched poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers by magnetic coaxial electrospinning

Branching has been emerging in 3-D interconnecting building blocks. Branched and hyperbranched poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers were fabricated by coaxially electrospinning two-liquids under an alternating magnetic field in a facile manner. Both the PVA nanofiber trunks with diameter of 100–200 nm and the PVA nanofiber branches with diameter of 10–30 nm were formed in a single step. The length and the morphology of the branched PVA nanofibers could be controlled through a rational design of the magnetic field. The facile technique may readily be extended to prepare 3-D branched nanofibers from other materials such as various polymers and polymer–ceramic materials. Moreover, the multifunctional and multicomponent materials with branched nanostructure could be expected by using the magnetic coaxial electrospinning technique. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal and structural characterization of nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) produced by electrospinning

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was obtained from the alkaline hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). Nonwoven membranes (mats) of PVOH nanofibers were produced by electrospinning of solutions of PVOH in water with and without aluminum chloride. The concentration of the PVOH/water solution was 12.4% w/v. The morphology of the mats was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal properties and the degree of crystallinity of the nanofibers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); the crystal structure of the mats was evaluated by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. The best nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning the PVOH/water solution with aluminum chloride (45% w/v) in which an electrical field of 3.0 kV/cm was applied. It was observed that the addition of the aluminum chloride and the increase in the applied electrical field decreased the number‐average nanofibers diameters. The mats without aluminum chloride had higher melting temperatures and higher degrees of crystallinity than the mats with the salt. The crystal structure of the mats was found to be monoclinic; however, the mats were neither highly oriented nor have a high degree of crystallinity. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyamide 6 nanofibrous nonwovens via electrospinning

Electrospinning of Polyamide 6 (PA 6) in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) was investigated for the fabrication of nanofibrous nonwoven membranes useful for separation systems. The effects of solution characteristics such as concentration and conductivity as well as the effects of processing conditions such as relative humidity and applied potential on the resultant nonwoven fibers were studied. By changing the relative humidity of the electrospinning chamber and the conductivity of the solvent, it is possible to modulate the fiber's size and consequently the porosity of the mats. The morphology of the electrospun PA 6 nanofibers was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of the nanofibers were also studied. The results showed that PA 6 nanofibers having a diameter ranging from 100 to 600 nm, has been successfully prepared. The electrospun PA 6 nanofiber mats show good mechanical properties, such as a high‐tensile strength (12 ± 0.2 MPa) and elongation (300% ± 50%). The strength of the web was high enough to use as filter without the need of any supporting matrix and could be applicable in the field of self‐supporting membranes. The X‐ray and DSC analyses of the PA 6 electrospun fibers show the presence of the γ‐form of PA 6 crystallite that is usually obtained in the condition where a high stress of the fibers is applied. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) and Polyamide‐66 Nanocomposites Prepared by Electrospinning

Summary: PVA and PA‐66 nanocomposite fibers with montmorillonite were prepared by electrospinning. Mixing of the components was conducted in two ways: polymer and montmorillonite were mixed with solvent, or monomer was polymerized in the presence of montmorillonite and was then dissolved in a solvent. Polymer/montmorillonite solutions were then electrospun on a non‐woven substrate. To the unaided eye, the coated area was either continuous coating or well‐defined spots. Characterization of the fiber structure and the particle size and distribution by SEM and elemental analysis showed the nanosized filler to be dispersed through the fiber network of the polymer/nanocomposite regardless of the preparation method. However, the clay particles within the fibers were smaller with the polymerization method than mixing in solvent. Only the PA‐66‐based nanocomposites exhibited large enough coating area on the substrate for measurements of contact angles and the time required for water penetration. Contact angles and the time required for water penetration were increased for most of the PA/nanoclay composites relative to the uncoated substrate.

Nanohydroxyapatite-coated hydroxyethyl cellulose/poly (vinyl) alcohol electrospun scaffolds and their cellular response

The present study focused on the preparation of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)-coated hydroxyethyl cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol (HEC/PVA) nanofibrous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering application. The electrospun HEC/PVA scaffolds were mineralized via alternate soaking process. FESEM revealed that the nHA was formed uniformly over the nanofibers. The nHA mineralization enhanced the tensile strength and reduced the elongation at breakage of scaffolds. The wettability of the nanofibrous scaffolds was significantly improved. The in vitro biocompatibility of scaffolds was evaluated with human osteosarcoma cells. nHA-coated scaffolds had a favorable effect on the proliferation and differentiation of osteosarcoma cell and could be a potential candidate for bone regeneration.     

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

Nanofiber films of chloroacetated natural rubber/poly(vinyl alcohol) by electrospinning technique: Silica effects on biodegradation

Green electrospinning technique was employed to prepare chloroacetated natural rubber (CNR)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber films by varying the addition of PVA in the range 2.5–55 wt % followed by encapsulation of 2.5 wt % fumed silica (FS). In this study, the risk of using organic solvents was eliminated using CNR in latex. The encapsulated electrospun fiber mats showed a fairly homogenous composition with enhanced water absorption ability of 703.54% ± 33.95%. The FS improved the interfacial adhesion and contributed to enhancing the intermolecular interaction between the two polymers. The mean diameter of the nanofibers decreased from 64.0 ± 19.0 to 41.0 ± 13.0 nm and significant improvement in the hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation rate was observed implying that FS can facilitate the degradation rate. Furthermore, loading of PVA and encapsulation of FS resulted in an improved stiffness of CNR at room temperature and storage modulus increased to 2.48 and 2.12 MPa, respectively. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of the molecular weight and concentration of poly(vinyl alcohol) on slot die coating

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of the molecular weight and concentration of aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solutions on the stable operating window of slot die coating. Various coating defects were observed outside the operating window. The window was found to expand with the PVA concentration and molecular weight increasing at low concentrations and to reach a maximum size at the gel point concentration, which corresponded to a critical Deborah number. Beyond this point, the effect of fluid elasticity became dominant, and the window began to shrink. This phenomenon was in contrast to that observed for low‐molecular‐weight glycerol solutions, in which the operating window was found to contract with the concentration or viscosity increasing. This anomalous behavior was attributed to the stretching or extension of long‐chain PVA molecules, which effectively stabilized the fluid motion in the coating bead region. The maximum coating speed could be correlated with the PVA concentration and molecular weight in terms of the capillary number as a function of the dimensionless concentration. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
