“…Extremely low viscosity will result in bead formation or droplets whereas extremely high viscosity will cause polymer solution to obstruct the flow through the capillary, leading to localised gel formation, which will prevent nanofibre formation (Liu et al, 2017). It has uncertain impacts on bead formation and fibre diameter.…”

The aim of this study was to produce pea flour and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)‐based novel nanofibres using electrospinning method. The effects of pH, pea flour and HPMC concentration on apparent viscosity, electrical conductivity of electrospinning solutions and nanofibre characteristics were studied. Solutions were prepared at different pH values (7, 10, 12), with different pea flour concentrations (1%, 2% w/v) and HPMC concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% w/v). For all pea flour concentrations, k values increased significantly with increase in pH and HPMC concentration. It also increased with increase in pea flour concentration for basic solutions. Pea flour concentration increased diameter and water vapour permeability (WVP) values of nanofibres. This study showed that electrospinning was a promising method for fabrication of homogenous pea flour and HPMC‐based nanofibres to be used in packaging industry.

“…However, electrospun pure native starch materials always behaved with a relatively poor spinnability, weak mechanical properties, and low water stability. To solve the above problems and obtain enhanced properties, these starch materials are usually modified by physical, chemical, and enzymatic modifications or compound with other polymer materials such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PEO, polylactic acid (PLA), PLGA, to gain better properties.…”

Interventions and policies for tackling air pollution issues exist and have been proven to be effective. Membrane materials of nanofibrous morphology are attractive for air filtration, and further alleviate the environmental issues. Electrospinning as a simple and versatile way to fabricate ultrafine fibers has been attracting tremendous attention. Herein, the recent researches and future trends of green electrospinning are expounded from the aspects of green degradable materials, green solution electrospinning, and solvent‐free electrospinning. The green degradable materials, including biomass materials, biosynthetic polymer materials, and chemical synthetic materials are reviewed. Following the concept of green electrospinning, electrospun polymer nanofibers via aqueous solution are discussed; additionally, further trends of solvent‐free electrospinning including melt‐electrospinning, anion‐curing electrospinning, UV‐curing electrospinning, thermo‐curing electrospinning, and supercritical CO2‐assisted electrospinning are highlighted. Furthermore, the applications of these electrospun nanofibrous membranes in the field of air filtration are discussed. In the end, the challenges of green electrospinning and future prospects are summarized. The development of green electrospinning is reviewed with an emphasis on current advanced solvent‐free research, where electrospun nanofibrous membranes are contributing to promising treatment strategies to solve environment issue.

“…Electrospinning of starch with other polymers, such as polycaprolactone, poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(ethylene oxide), poly(lactide‐ co ‐glycolide), and polylactic acid has been demonstrated . Although, extruded starch–EVOH blends have generated significant commercial interest owing to their pliability, toughness, and ability to be processed at temperatures similar to polyethylene or polypropylene, EVOH/TPS blends have not been electrospun to date .…”

Nonwoven fibrous mats of poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends were successfully prepared through the electrospinning technique using a mixed solvent system of isopropyl alcohol and water. The influence of TPS on the morphology and structure of the fibrous mats was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The addition of TPS to EVOH resulted in beaded electrospun fibers. The SEM images revealed decreasing average width of the blend fibers and increasing quantity of beads with an increased TPS content. EVOH/TPS fibers mats irradiated under ultraviolet light using sodium benzoate as a photosensitizer were also prepared. The size and number of beads were diminished in the photocrosslinked EVOH/TPS fiber mats. The as‐spun and crosslinked EVOH/TPS fiber mats exhibit a superior fluid uptake ability (with 20 wt% of TPS) and superior barrier properties (with 20 and 40 wt% of TPS) in comparison to those observed in neat electrospun EVOH mats. These properties are of particular interest for use in dressing materials for the medical industry and for use in multilayer plastic fuel tanks for the automotive industry, respectively. POLYM. ENG.
