High Strength and High Modulus Electrospun Nanofibers

Abstract: Electrospinning is a rapidly growing polymer processing technology as it provides a viable and simple method to create ultra-fine continuous fibers. This paper presents an in-depth review of the mechanical properties of electrospun fibers and particularly focuses on methodologies to generate high strength and high modulus nanofibers. As such, it aims to provide some guidance to future research activities in the area of high performance electrospun fibers.

“…Figure 4 clearly demonstrated that sulphur mutated simulant chemical molecules is adhered onto surface of the web and therefore, web is acting as a barrier layer for CWA sulphur mustard gas. On the other hand, air permeability, water vapour, and bacteria and chemical filtration results of functional integrated layer showed agreement and correlation with those obtained by pore size and morphological measurements [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Nanoweb morphology act as a barrier layer is in close agreement with previously reported work for various other applications [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

“…The pressure applied during the curing process further shrinks the nanointerleave, and most of the papers did not register any appreciable thickness increase due to the interleave. However, in the majority of the papers, just one nanofibrous mat is used, and in some of those cases where several mats are applied, increases of few % are registered; 4. mechanical properties: nanofibers' mechanical properties can be significantly higher than those of the same material in bulk state [103].…”

“…Despite the potential utilization of electrospun nanofibers in many fields, their success has been limited so far due to their poor mechanical properties compared to those of fibers made by conventional processes such as melt-or solution spinning [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The main reason for this is the competition between flow-induced chain orientation and chain relaxation before fiber solidification, leading to low degrees of molecular orientation in as-spun fibers based on flexible chain polymer fibers [5]. It is for this reason that high performance fibers based on flexible chain polymers are typically post-drawn in the solid state below their melting temperature, where relaxation times are nearly infinite.…”
