Abstract

The mechanical properties and softness of electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers was improved by the addition of a small amount of tributyl citrate (TBC) plasticizer to PVDF spinning solutions. The PVDF nanofibers containing TBC were prepared by electrospinning and subsequent calendering. The morphology, mechanical properties, and thermal properties of the electrospun PVDF nanofibers were investigated using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), tensile test and DSC analysis. The results of the tensile experiment indicate that the PVDF nanofibers containing 5 wt% of TBC have three times better strength and six times higher elongation in the mechanical direction (MD) compared to those of pure PVDF nanofibers. Thus, the results indicate that PVDF nanofibers containing TBC have potential applications not only in the textile industry but also in the electrical and biomedical fields. Further, the excellent mechanical properties and softness of the eco-friendly nanofibers containing TBC plasticizer is useful for its commercialization.
