Electrospinning of PVB solutions - influence of electrorheological behaviour

Abstract

Paper presented at the 8th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Mauritius, 11-13 July, 2011.

The aim of this contribution is to find an influence of shear rheological characteristics of polymer solutions on quality of spinnability. Various polyvinylbutyral (PVB) solutions are chosen for the process of electrospinning in which, under a strong electrostatic field, fibres are generated and deposited on a template as a non-woven sheet.
