Production of Poly (Butylene Terephthalate) Nanofibers by Electrospinning and Thermal and Crystallinity investigation of Nanofibers

Poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, being directly deposited in the form of a random fibers web. Electrospinning is a very useful process that produces nanofibers from polymer melts or solutions with diameters in the range of sub-micron to nano size. Thermal and crystallinity of electrospun fibers were characterized by DSC analysis. Increasing the electrospinning voltage from 20 kV to 30 kV at 14 wt% concentration, caused the thermal behavior and crystallinity to be improved.
