Poly(Butylene Terephthalate)/Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes Composite Nanofibers by Electrospinning

Enhancement of the mechanical properties and thermostability of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers by the incorporation of sodium chloride

“…Moreover, the mechanical properties of electrospun nanofibros mats are crucial for their practical uses such as tissue scaffolds which should be rigid enough to support cell adhesion, spreading, normal extracellular matrix deposition, working under certain pressure, and so on . However, the electrospun nanofibers exhibit low mechanical properties compared with the microfibers due to their randomly orientation of fibers and high porosity . Many efforts have been made to improve their chemical resistance, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and spinnability of the electrospun nanofibers .…”

Modification of Polylactide Nonwovens with Carbon Nanotubes and Ladder Poly(silsesquioxane)

“…The decrease of the PL-CNT fiber diameters was caused by an increase in the electrical conductivity of the solution. As a result, the solution underwent a greater extension under the influence of the electrostatic field, which caused the reduction of fiber diameters [ 6 , 57 ]. The same applies to PL-g-CNT electrospinning process, although it is worth noting that PL-g-CNT concentration in the solution had to be decreased in comparison to that of PL-CNT because of increased viscosity due to grafting of polymer chains on MWCNT.…”

Process–structure–property relationships in poly(butylene terephthalate) nanocomposites

“…Nanofibers have interesting properties as a result of their extremely high surface area-to-weight ratios relative to other conventional fiber structures (Saligheh et al, 2011). Nanofibers have interesting properties as a result of their extremely high surface area-to-weight ratios relative to other conventional fiber structures (Saligheh et al, 2011).…”

“…These properties help to maximize the interface area and load transfer between PBT molecular chains and CNTs (Saligheh et al, 2011). The specific strength of PBT increased from 163.5 to 216.7 Nm/g with the addition of 1 wt% SWCNT.…”
