“…In 2014, ABS and ABS/zeolite composite fibers were firstly prepared by electrospinning technology, but the fibers have a broad diameter distribution and no application was presented [18]. In another report, pure ABS fibers and their conductive ABS/copper composite fibers were fabricated via electrospinning and electroless metal deposition, respectively [19]. However, comprehensive investigation on the formation of ABS electrospun fibers is missing in this report.…”

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a commercial polymer for widely industrial applications due to its good mechanical and physical properties. However, there are only countable reports regarding its fibers from electrospinning. Comprehensive investigation on its optimized electrospinning parameters is missing. Herein, ABS fibers with different fiber diameters were produced by electrospinning. The electrospinning conditions, including the solvents, solution concentrations and amounts of different salt additives, have been comprehensively investigated. The morphologies of electrospun ABS fibers are studied by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Different fiber diameters and coating densities are applied for filtration applications, which showed excellent filtration performance. The filtration efficiency of up to 99%, low pressure drop of < 30 Pa, and high filtration quality factor of up to 0.477 are achieved from the electrospun ABS fibers coated on microfibrous polypropylene substrates. In addition, the electrospun ABS fibers also shows good thermal stability and other applications such as oil/water separation.

Etching treatment for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin and electroless nickel plating process have been studied. The ABS first was etched in a chromium‐free potassium permanganate etching system with different etching times. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and hydrophilicity test showed that the ABS is of moderate and homogeneous hole size after being etched at a temperature of 65 °C with 6 g L−1 potassium permanganate for 20 min. Then electroless nickel process was performed by immersing the ABS into in a Ni plating bath at 45 °C for 20 min at a pH of 8.5–9.5. The coating was even, dense, and reveals good corrosion resistance. In addition, the nickel plating adhesion strength reached 2.73 MPa. Therefore, the excellent performance of the KMnO4‐H2SO4‐H3PO4‐H2O etching system may replace the traditional chromic anhydride‐sulfuric acid etching system as an environmentally friendly process.

“…Although the fabrication and applications of core–shell fibers have been widely studied, the effect of post‐treatment on the morphology transformation of core–shell fibers has been rarely investigated. Post‐treatment, such as thermal or solvent annealing, enables polymer chains to achieve more stable states and is critical for the properties and applications of electrospun polymer core–shell fibers …”

Electrospun core-shell fibers have great potentials in many areas, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and organic solar cells. Although many core-shell fibers have been prepared and studied, the morphology transformation of core-shell fibers have been rarely studied. In this work, the morphology evolution of electrospun core-shell polymer fibers driven by the Plateau-Rayleigh instability is investigated. Polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS/PMMA) core-shell fibers are first prepared by using blend solutions and a single axial electrospinning setup. After PS/PMMA core-shell fibers are annealed on a PS film, the fibers undulate and sink into the polymer film, forming core-shell hemispheres. The evolution process, which can be observed in situ by optical microscopy, is mainly driven by achieving lower surface and interfacial energies. The morphologies of the transformed structures can be confirmed by a selective removal technique, and polymer microbowls can be obtained.
