Abstract
Eletcrospinning method can be used in preparation of
sub-micron and nanosized fibres. The main commercial
application of electrospun materials is aerosol
filtration, but they can also be used in various other
application including medical and water filtration
membranes. Cellulose acetate (CA) is widely used in
membrane applications. CA is soluble to acetone, which
evaporates very fast in electrospinning process and thus
is difficult to be used in materials preparation due to
nozzle blocking. In this presentation we will study
improving electrospinnability of CA by reduce nozzle
blocking tendency. This was carried out, firstly, using
solvent mixtures containing also solvent with higher
boiling point, and secondly, by using excess solvent feed
onto tip of the nozzle. In addition to evalution of these
methods we also present premilinary results concerning
use of these fibres in membrane applications.
