Electrospun fabrics, prepared from 5, 7 and 10%w/v were Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solutions successfully prepared. The electrospinning condition was 15 kV, distance 15 cm, flow rate of 1 ml/hr and spinning time of 5 hours. Physical properties of electrospun PVA fabrics were analysed by SEM, FE-SEM and contact angle measurement.The contact angle of the electrospun PVA fabrics was 54.5°, characterizing the hydrophilicity of the fabrics. Hydrophobic properties of the electrospun PVA fabrics were improved by plasma treatment using radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP). RF-ICP plasma treatment of the electrospun PVA fabrics were carried out sulphurhexafluorene (SF6) gas with pressure of 0.5 Torr, RF power of 30W and treating time of 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds. Effects of the PVA solution concentration and plasma treating time on hydrophobicity of the electrospun PVA fabrics were determined by contact angle that result of contact angle of treated fabrics increased when treated time increased and they decreased when concentration of fabrics increased.
Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fabrics were prepared by electrospinning with 7%w/v concentration to dissolve in dimethylformamide (DMF) and spinning time 12 h. Radio frequency inductively couple plasma (RF-ICP) at 13.56 MHz were used to improve PAN fabrics surface by O2 gas in plasma treatment that became to hydrophilic properties of PAN fabrics surface. Physical properties were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle measurement which found that characterized on PAN fabrics surface after plasma treatment with increased treated time had been damaged on these fabrics surface which measured contact angle measurement with water were range 29.3 to 74.7. Chemical properties were analysed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) that had been found peak intensities of aliphatic C-H band at 1450 and 2930 cm-1 and peak intensities of cyclic C=O bands at 1732 cm-1 and peak intensities of saturated nitriles at 2243 cm-1 and peak intensities of hydroxyl O-H band at 3600-3650 cm-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
