Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)의 전기방사 공정에서 salt와 co-solvent의 영향에 관한 연구

초록

Electrospinning is an attractive method to prepare micron to nano sized fibers for various polymers. The electrospun fibers have already been employed for composites, protecting clothing, filtration, catalysis, electronics, implants, tissue engineering, drug delivery, agriculture, and so on. It is well known that the morphology and size of electrospun fibers strongly depend on solution properties such as viscosity, conductivity and surface tension. In general, conductivity is a important factor to determine the spinnability, morphology and size of electrospun fibers. In this study, we investigated the effect of the organic salts and co-solvents on the electrospinnability of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)(PHB-HHx) ultrafine fibers.
