In this work, laser-heated electrospinning (LES) process using carbon dioxide laser was explored as an eco-friendly method for producing ultrafine fibers. To enhance the thinning of fibers and the formation of fiber structure, planar or equibiaxial stretching and subsequent annealing processes were applied to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber webs prepared by LES. The structure and properties of the obtained webs were investigated. Ultrafine fiber webs with an average diameter of approximately 1 μm and a coefficient of variation of 20-25% were obtained when the stretch ratios in the MD (machine direction) × TD (transverse direction) were 3 × 1 and 3 × 3 for the planar and equibiaxial stretching, respectively. In the wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis of the web samples, preferential orientation of crystalline c-axis were confirmed along the MD for planar stretching and only along the web plane for equibiaxial stretching, which was in contrast to the stretching of film samples, where additional preferential orientation of benzene ring along the film plane proceeded. The results obtained suggest that PET fiber webs fabricated through LES and subsequent planar or biaxial stretching processes have potential for a wide variety of applications, such as packaging and battery separator materials.
在这项工作中,探索了使用二氧化碳激光的激光加热静电纺丝(LES)工艺,作为一种生产超细纤维的环保方法。为了增强纤维的细化和纤维结构的形成,对通过LES制备的聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)纤维网进行了平面或双轴拉伸以及随后的退火处理。对所得纤维网的结构和性能进行了研究。当平面拉伸和双轴拉伸在纵向(MD)×横向(TD)的拉伸比分别为3×1和3×3时,获得了平均直径约为1μm且变异系数为20 - 25%的超细纤维网。在纤维网样品的广角X射线衍射分析中,对于平面拉伸,沿纵向证实了结晶c轴的择优取向,而对于双轴拉伸,仅沿纤维网平面有择优取向,这与薄膜样品的拉伸情况相反,在薄膜样品拉伸中,沿薄膜平面还会有苯环的额外择优取向。所得结果表明,通过LES以及随后的平面或双轴拉伸工艺制备的PET纤维网在诸如包装和电池隔膜材料等多种应用方面具有潜力。
