Effect of Mechanical Dispersion on Physical Properties of Nanoclay Added Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Nanofibrous Mats | Chapter 6 | Progress in Chemical Science Research Vol. 9

 In this study, polyvinyl intoxicating (PVA) polymer and Cloisite 15A, a modified Montmorillonite nanoclay, were used to produce nanofibrous mats via electrospinning method. Nanofibers provide excellent opportunities for creating device with new properties by way of various physical and synthetic modifications during or following the result process. Nanofibers bring promising resolutions for fundamental problems in our life in miscellaneous fields such as strength, environmental, and medical situations. Increased polymer concentration led to blob-free nanofibrous PVA mats. EDX analysis approved nanoclay is present in samples created from nanoclay added PVA answers. Mechanical stirring for nanoclay dispersion allowed smooth nanofibrous structures only in low (1/13) nanoclay pressure/ polymer weight ratios and demonstrated very little tensile increase from 1 wt % terra cotta loading to 2 wt % addition. The effect of nanoclay adding with magnetic rousing on mechanical possessions of nanofibrous mats was evaluated by tensile experiment mat samples. Increased nanoclay content in PVA nanofibrous mats did not directly increase stiffness; this may be because of the negative belongings of poor nanoclay classification on tensile results. Morphological analysis illustrated that nanofibrous structures were distinct from smooth fibre buildings because, as the percentage of nanoclay weight to polymer weight raised, smooth nanofibers became non-uniform fibrous makeups.
