Preparation and characterization of coaxial electrospun polysulfone amide/polyurethane

In this study,a novel approach and the related equipment of coaxial electrospinning has been developed to fabricate a new ultrafine Polysulfone amide(PSA)/Polyurethane(PU)coaxial fibers at nano-scale with the PSA as the core and the PU as the shell of the blended fibers.As the co-spinneret has effect on the structure and properties of the spun fiber,three types of co-spinnerets with different diameters were designed to investigate its effect on the fabricated fibers in this research.Three series of PSA/PU coaxial fibers were spun using the self-developed coaxial electrospinning equipment,and these fibers were characterized systematically using SEM,TEM and TG.High-speed photography was used to capture the image of the tailor cone and jet motion of polymer fluid during the spinning process,which can give a detailed description of the electro-spinning for the further theoretical analysis.The three-dimensional(3D)electric field simulation was also carried out to model the differences of electric field.Out experimental results show that the mechanical and thermal properties of the core-shell fibers fabricated in this research have been improved in the comparison with the fibers spun using the conventional single needle electrospinning,since it has the core-shell structure so that it can combine the excellent thermal properties of the PSA and the excellent mechanical properties of the PU.The new developed PSA/PU fibers could be used in the industrial applications or the development of high performance apparels in the future.
