Abstract

In this paper, four different series of polymer solutions were presented to study the effects of solution properties on the morphology and diameters of nanofibers, including the polyethersulfone (PES) dissolving in N, N-dimethylformamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in ethanol, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in water and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in N, Ndimethyl acetamide. These solutions revealed different conditions of the formation of beads, the spatial structures and the diameter of fibers. The PVDF nanofibers had plenty of small beads on the fibers, while the other three were uniform fibers without beads. The nanofibers of PES, PVP and PVDF showed good three dimensional structures except the PAA fibrous membranes. The change of fiber diameters of PVDF was much larger than that of PVP.
