Abstract: | The effects of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) on the structure formation, morphology, crystallization behavior and mechanical property of electrospun poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber mats were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and mechanical test. If incorporate hard filler, MWCNTs into electrospun PLLA nanofiber, the crystallinity, chain orientation, and crystallization behaviors were almost not influenced by the MWCNTs content owing to the MWCNTs mainly acted as impeding the crystal growth and chain diffusion. If incorporate small content of soft and miscible component, PEO (10 wt%) into the electrospun PLLA and PLLA/MWCNTs nanofibers, the crystallinity and crystallization rate of PLLA in nanofibers were obviously enhanced. The synergistic effect of PEO and MWCNTs in PLLA nanofibers was observed during melt-crystallization behaviors of PLLA/MWCNTs fibers. Based on those results, we found that the chain mobility is an important factor to influence the structure formation and crystallization behaviors in the electrospun nanofibers. Our results indicated that the structure and properties of electrospun nanofibers could be optimized by compounding with hard inorganic filler and soft polymer components. |
