Plasma-assisted electrospinning: the many facets of a process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atmospheric pressure non equilibrium plasma treatments have been implemented to produce solvent-free Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffolds, to improve biocompatibility of PLLA mats and to increase electrolyte uptake of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) separators for lithium batteries. It has been observed that plasma treatments are a suitable way to improve polymeric solution electrospinnability, to functionalize PLLA scaffold and to produce enhanced PVDF separators for energy storage devices.

متن کاملFormation of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Nanofibers Part II: the elaboration of incompatibility in the electrospinning of its solutions
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibers with two molecular weights were prepared via electrospinning process. In this process, the concentration of spinning depended drastically on the gelation process. Also, it was experimentally smaller than obtained concentration in the solution entanglement number approach (SENA). Proof of this incompatibility was explained by the properties of PVDF a...
