Özet
Electrospinning is an easy and simple process for the preparation of ultrafine fibers with tunable morphology. Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are engineering polymers with an elastomeric nature that can be processed as thermoplastics. They can be classified based on their chemical structure and polyester-based TPEs are counted as high-performance materials due to their mechanical properties and can be used for various applications from automotive, construction, furniture, and consumer goods. In this study, electrospun polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer fibers were prepared and characterized. Thermoplastic polyester elastomer, Hytrel 4056 was used as the polymer, and chloroform was used as a solvent. The effects of polymer: solvent weight ratio, feed rate, applied voltage, and collector type were investigated in terms of fiber formation and morphology. For this aim, the polymer: solvent weight ratio was varied as 1: 7, 1: 11, and 1: 15; the feed rate was set to 1 and 3 ml h-1. To collect the fibers metal plate and water bath collectors were used at a constant needle-to-collector distance under 10, 15, and 20 kV. The viscosity of the polymer solutions was measured as a function of the polymer: solvent ratio to observe the effects of viscosity on fiber morphology.
