Melt differential electrospinning of polyphenylene sulfide nanofibers for flue gas filtration

Abstract

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) nanofibers have broad application prospects in high temperature dust removal, high temperature oil-water separation, radiation protection, and other fields. PPS nanofibers were prepared by melt differential electrospinning without any other additives, which ensures the excellent properties of PPS fibers. The effects of spinning parameters (spinning voltage, spinning distance, spinning temperature) on the morphology of PPS fibers were systematically studied, and the average diameter of PPS fibers with 1.28 μm was obtained under the optimum conditions (spinning distance of 6 mm, temperature of 310 C and spinning voltage of 35 kV). The effect of spinning voltage on the crystallinity and thermal stability of the fiber was analyzed. Finally, the filtration efficiencies of the commercial dust-proof filter bags and the obtained PPS fibers with the same weight were compared. It was demonstrated that filtration efficiency of the obtained PPS fibers with 186 g/cm 2 reached up to 99.95%. This study aims to provide a new idea for green industrial manufacturing and application of electrospinning PPS nanofibers.

Transition metal sulfides meet electrospinning: versatile synthesis, distinct properties and prospective applications

“…383 Over the last years, electrospun nanofibrous membranes have captured increasingly attention for adsorption and separation because of their highly efficient and selective adsorption capability, rapid equilibrium rate, and easy recyclability. 41,42,384 To enhance the adsorption performance, the reduction of the size, the modification of functional groups, and the hybridization with inorganic nanomaterials are the reasonable approaches. Transition metal sulfides with nanosheet-like structure possess sulfur-rich feature and distinct 2D geometry, enabling them highly adsorption of heavy metal ions.…”

The effects of carbon nanotubes selective location on the structures and properties of polyphenylene sulfide/polyamide 66 fibers

“…Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) [17][18][19][20][21][22] as a crystalline thermoplastic resin consisted of phenylthiol group was widely fabricated into functional films, coatings, fibers, and composites for the fields of electronics, 23 aerospace, 24 automobile, 25 transportation, 26 mechanical engineering, 27 and chemical industry 28 based on its good dimensional stability, 29 hightemperature resistance, 30 excellent chemical resistance, 31 flame resistance, 32 and electrical properties. 33 However, poor toughness and brittleness still put forward higher requirements on the equipment and processing conditions of PPS fiber and limited its further applications in related fields.…”

Thermal aging performance of glass fiber/polyphenylene sulfide composites in high temperature

“…Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is one kind of high performance engineering polymer with a unique combination of excellent physical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Although the physical, thermal and mechanical properties of PPS are widely investigated, 1–27 very few of PPS can directly be used as plastic products 28–34 . In order to improve the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties, PPS composites reinforced by fiber 14,35–43 or filled by mineral filler 44–59 have been developed.…”
