The Influence of Solvent Type and Polymer Concentration on the Physical Properties of Solid State Polymerized PA66 Nanofiber Yarn

ABSTRACT:

We investigated the effects of two different solvent types and three solution concentrations on the electrospinning of solid state polymerized polyamide 66 (SSP PA66) nanofiber yarns. Nanofiber yarns were electrospun from SSP PA66 solutions in formic acid and formic acid/chloroform (3/1), using two oppositely metallic spinnerets system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Xray diffraction (XRD) were employed to characterize the morphology and properties of the nanofibrous yarns.  Experimental results show that adding chloroform to formic acid as a binary solvent increases viscosity of polymer solution and the nanofibers diameter significantly. XRD patterns reveal that the presence of chloroform affects the crystallinity and the mechanical properties of the produced nanofibrous yarns. PA66 nanofiber yarn from 10 wt % formic acid/chloroform (3/1) solution was successfully electrospun with strength and modulus of 120.16 MPa and 1216.27 MPa respectively. It is also shown that the solution concentration has a significant effect on the modulus of the nanofibers yarns.
