Core-Shell Melt Electrospun Fibres

DOI

Electrospinning is a technique that produces nanoscale to microscale sized polymer fibre from solution and the molten state. We have previously used small angle neutron scattering to measure the polymer backbone anisotropy from fibres prepared from solution. In this proposal we seek time to study fibres spun from the melt; a much more viscous environment. In addition we shall look at fibres which contain an outer shell of one polymer and a core of a different polymer; using a specially constructed coaxial spinneret. We shall probe differences in polymer backbone anisotropy between the two systems as a function of spinning conditions, to determine how the two immiscible components interact.
