چکیده
Electrospinning is a rapidly growing polymer processing technology as it provides a viable and simple method to create ultra-fine continuous fibers. This paper presents an in-depth review of the mechanical properties of electrospun fibers and particularly focuses on methodologies to generate high strength and high modulus nanofibers. As such, it aims to provide some guidance to future research activities in the area of high performance electrospun fibers.

Co-polyimide nanofiber based on BPDA (3, 30 , 4, 40-Biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride)/PDA (p-Phenylene-diamine)/ODA (4, 40-Oxydianiline) (BPO) were produced by electrospinning followed by imidization from precursor polyamic acid (PAA) nanofiber. The aligned co-polyimide nanofiber mats possessed a modulus, strength and strain-at-break of respective 10 GPa, 1.04 GPa, and 13.5%. In comparison w...
متن کاملIncreasing Mechanical Properties of 2-D-Structured Electrospun Nylon 6 Non-Woven Fiber Mats
Tensile strength, Young's modulus, and toughness of electrospun nylon 6 non-woven fiber mats were improved by increasing individual nanofiber strength and fiber-fiber load sharing. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as reinforcement to increase the strength of the electrospun nylon 6 nanofibers. Young's modulus, tensile strength, and toughness of the nylon 6 non-woven fiber mats el...
متن کاملEnhancing Crystallinity and Orientation by Hot-Stretching to Improve the Mechanical Properties of Electrospun Partially Aligned Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) Nanocomposites
Partially aligned polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofibers were electrospun from PAN and PAN/single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in a solution of dimethylformamide (DMF) to make the nanofiber composites. The as-spun nanofibers were then hot-stretched in the oven to enhance its orientation and crystallinity. With the introduction of SWNTs and by the hot-stretched process, the mechanical prope...
متن کاملMorphology of Electrospun Nylon-6 Nanofibers as a Function of Molecular Weight and Processing Parameters
In the present study, the morphology and mechanical properties of nylon-6 nanofibers were investigated as a function of molecular weight (30,000, 50,000, and 63,000 g/mol) and electrospinning process conditions (solution concentration, voltage, tip-to-collector distance, and flow rate). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) of nylon-6 nanofibers showed that the diameter of the electrospun fiber i...
