From Lab to Pilot Scale: Melt Electrospun Nanofibers of Polypropylene with Conductive Additives
Author(s): Koenig K, Langensiepen F, Seide G, Daenicke J and Schubert DW
In this paper, the feasibility of fabricating polypropylene (PP) nanofibers was investigated using conductive additives such as sodium stearate (NaSt), sodium oleate (NaOl) and Irgastat during melt electro spinning with a single nozzle lab and a 600- nozzle pilot scale device. Varying PP grades of high melt flow indices (MFI=450-1200 g/10 min) were used with different amounts of additives. The effects of the additives on the fiber diameters, thermal properties, electrical conductivity and polymer degradation were investigated. On a lab scale, fiber diameters of less than 500 nm were achieved with the compound of PP HL712FB, 4 wt% NaSt and 2 wt% Irgastat. The lab scale device was extended by a heatable spinning chamber, which affects fiber diameter reduction. The fabrication of nanofiber... view more»
