| dcterms.abstract | Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a commonly used polymer that has some excellent properties, such as great strength and biocompatibility. Cellulose Acetate (CA) is another excellent polymer that has been employed in many applications, including drug. PVP-CA composite has both strength and flexible properties that can be used as ultrafiltration membranes or the drug release system. PVP-CA composites comprise a new class of materials that have been the scope of this work. In this research, the electrospun PVP-CA composites were prepared under different concentrations. Then, the impact of different electrospinning parameters on fiber diameters was investigated. Moreover, acetic acid and acetone were used as solvents for dissolving PVP, CA respectively. For comparison, PVP in water and CA in acetone was each deposited on the aluminum foil by electrospinning, forming a two-layer structure. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Raman spectroscopy test were carried out. From the test results, fibers with 200nm to 1um diameter were prepared and the interaction between PVP and CA were proved. Then the oil absorption testing was carried out. The membrane structure of the electrospun composite fibers showed good oil absorption capacity, that was twice higher than the 2-layer PVP-CA fibers. | |
