Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were prepared from electrospun method. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to characterize the mechanical properties of electrospun PU nanofibers. The impact of temperature on the mechanical behavior of PU nanofibers was studied using three-point bending test based on AFM. A Young's modulus of ~ 25 GPa was obtained for PU nanofibers with diameter at ~ 150 nm at room temperature. With decrease in nanofiber's diameter, the increasing Young's modulus can be due to the surface tension effect. The Young's modulus of the PU nanofiber decreased linearly while the fibrous morphology was maintained with the increase of temperature.
采用静电纺丝法制备了聚氨酯(PU)纳米纤维。利用原子力显微镜(AFM)对静电纺丝PU纳米纤维的力学性能进行了表征。基于AFM,通过三点弯曲试验研究了温度对PU纳米纤维力学行为的影响。室温下,直径约为150 nm的PU纳米纤维的杨氏模量约为25 GPa。随着纳米纤维直径的减小,杨氏模量的增加可能是由于表面张力效应。随着温度的升高,PU纳米纤维的杨氏模量呈线性下降,而纤维形态保持不变。
