A green approach for the preparation of starch-based composite nanofibers using electrospinning was developed. The water-soluble sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS) with DS 0.31 was prepared. The addition of co-blending polymer polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) was attempted to improve the CMS solution spinnability, which blends from aqueous solution were prepared at different CMS/PVA weight ratios. The solution parameters including viscosity, surface tension and conductivity were measured and the morphologies of nanofibers were observed by SEM. Smooth, continuous, and defect-free nanofibers were successfully obtained range from the blend of CMS/PVA weight ratios of 10:90 to 80:20. Diameter distribution diagrams suggested that the diameter of the nanofibers reduced with the concentration of CMS increasing. This is the first report that the thin nanofiber (135.29 nm) with bead-free was obtained at the maximal CMS content of 50.0 wt% in the CMS/PVA blend. This study provided a green approach to produce starch-based nano-scale fibers.
采用静电纺丝法制备了基于淀粉的复合纳米纤维。制备了取代度为 0.31 的水溶性羧甲基淀粉(CMS)。尝试添加共混聚合物聚乙烯醇(PVA)以提高 CMS 溶液的可纺性,将其从水溶液中以不同的 CMS/PVA 重量比进行共混。测量了溶液的参数,包括粘度、表面张力和电导率,并通过 SEM 观察了纳米纤维的形态。成功获得了从 CMS/PVA 重量比为 10:90 到 80:20 的光滑、连续、无缺陷的纳米纤维。直径分布图谱表明,纳米纤维的直径随 CMS 浓度的增加而减小。这是首次在 CMS/PVA 共混物中 CMS 含量最大为 50.0wt%时,获得无珠状的细纳米纤维(135.29nm)的报道。本研究为生产基于淀粉的纳米级纤维提供了一种绿色方法。
