Polymer nanofibers with interpenetrating network (IPN) morphology are used in this work for the development of composite, hydrophobic filter media conjunction glass fibers removal water droplets from ultralow sulfur diesel (ULSD). The produced polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) by spinning polymer solutions using gas jet fiber (GJF) method. coat individual due to polar-polar interactions during process render highly a contact angle approaching 150°....
Summary In this study, the rates of nanofiber production are compared between single needle electrospinning and nozzle gas jet fiber (GJF) processes by considering bi‐component nanofibers two immiscible polymers. The spinning solutions consist polymers mutually miscible solvents. solvent pairs with different vapor pressure used to obtain three morphological forms − interpenetrating network (IPN), bi‐lobal, core‐shell. As baseline for comparison, conditions chosen produce same equivalent...
Abstract This paper addresses the role of solvent volatility on diameter selection bicomponent polymer nanofibers produced via gas jet fibers (GJF) process whereby an axisymmetric turbulent is used for liquid initiation, stretching, and evaporation. Several morphological forms, such as interpenetrating network (IPN), bi-lobal, core-shell are obtained by spinning homogeneous solutions two immiscible polymers in mutually miscible solvents. The same morphology, e. g., achieved sets solvents...
