In this study, a new graft copolymer, P(AN-co-AM)-g-MAPEG, was synthesized by polyethylene glycol monoester of maleic acid (MAPEG), acrylonitrile (AN), and a third monomer acrylamide (AM) in water phase precipitation, in which random copolymer of P(AN-co-AM) was taken as skeleton and macromonomer MAPEG with phase transition as branched chain. The P(AN-co-AM)-g-MAPEG nanofibers were prepared by electrostatic spinning. The effects of pinhole diameter, spinning solution concentration, and spinning liquid solvent on the structure of nanofibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The structure, phase-change properties, and thermal stability of the grafted copolymer were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the new solid-solid phase-change material P(AN-co-AM)-g-MAPEG was successfully prepared. The nanofiber diameter increased with the increasing pinhole diameter. The obtained phase-change nanofibers exhibit good phase transition and thermal stability.
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.
