Fabrication of Polyvinylpyrrolidone Nanofibers with Green Solvents
Abstract
In
this study, biocompatible Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers were produced with
ultra-pure water, rose water, lavender water, ethanol, acetone and acetic acid
with green electrospinning approach. Polymer solutions were characterized with
conductivity, surface tension and viscosity measurements. Morphological analyzes
were carried out with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Conductivity, surface
tension and viscosity results of PVP/ ultra-pure water, rose water and lavender
water solutions were similar. On the other hand, PVP/acetic acid solution has
the highest viscosity and lowest conductivity values and PVP/ethanol solution
has got the lowest surface tension. In addition; the lowest average fiber
diameters were obtained from ultra-pure water, rose water and lavender water
solvents but there are some beads on the nanofiber structure. The smoothest
nanofibers without beads were obtained from PVP/ethanol but it was observed
that average fiber diameter is about 724 nm higher than other PVP solutions. Therefore,
ethanol was chosen as a co-solvent to enhance fiber morphology for second part
of study. Moreover; the relation between solution conductivity, nanofiber diameter
and web diameter were determined and it was found that nanofibrous surface
diameter increases and fiber diameter decreases with the increase of solution conductivity.
