Poly electrospinning process

Further, Bianco and coworkers used the electrospinning processing to produce fibers of poly-3-dodecylthiophene (P3DDT), both as pure material and in association with PEO [51]. 

Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2 -ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) is an excellent conjugated polymer and broadly used in polymer photoelectron devices, but is difficult to electronspin directly. In the work by Zhao et al, core-shell structured nanofibers were fabricated by coaxial electrospinning MEH-PPV (shell) in chlorobenzene and PVP (core) in 1,2-dichloroethane [64]. MEH-PPV was soluble in the above two solvents, which prevented the precipitation of MEH-PPV and enhanced the adhering action between the two polymers in the coaxial electrospinning process. It should be noted that this is an unusual example of core-shell nanofibers where (a nonprocessable) PPV was spun as the shell and not in the core. These uniform core/shell PVP/MEH-PPV nanofibers with a highly fluorescent property can have potential applications in the fabrication of polymer nanophotoelectron devices. 

Electrospinning processes are used to prepare nanocomposite fiber mats. In order to prepare nanocomposite fiber mats, mixtures containing the polymer solution and cellulose whiskers solution are placed in the appropriated electrospinning setup. Peresin et al. [128] have produced nanocomposite mats of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals using this electrospinning technique. Smooth nonwoven mats with homogeneous nanofibers were obtained. Park et al. [129] have also incorporated cellulose whiskers into nanofibers of polyethylene oxide (PEO) by the electrospiiming process.

Polyaniline-based nanofibers with diameter below 30 nm were obtained with the electrospinning process [304] which is suitable not only for conjugated polymers, but also for non conjugated, water soluble polymers such as poly-ethylen oxide (PEO), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly-lactic acid (PLA). In fact, one of the...
