Force spinning of polymers utilising food waste

DOI

Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short time frame. A polymer solution or melt is placed into a spinneret with a fine nozzle outlet, and a high rotational speed is utilised to force out and elongate the material into a polymer fibre. We have previously measured the backbone anisotropy in electrospun fibres and developed a model for the way in which the polymer solution contributes to the structure of the final fibre. We wish to extend this work to force spinning. We have some preliminary data from fibres produced in this way and in these investigations we would like to explore scattering from complex mixtures of polymers containing microfibrillated cellulose and whey protein as part of a continuing investigation of processing food waste material
