| Summary: | Electrospinning of PVA/chitosan solutions has been carried out to obtain
nanofiber with small and uniform in diameter without bead structure. In this research,
PVA/chitosan solutions were prepared in the acetic acid with the range of
concentration from 1% to 20% and mass ratio of PVA to chitosan is from 10/1 to
10/3. The applied voltage and distance between spineret to collector were set at 15
kV and 14 cm, respectively. The solution properties of PVA/chitosan were also
measured such as, conductivity, pH, viscosity, and surface tension. The additon of
acetic acid concentration decrease conductivity, pH, and surface tension of the
solution, while viscosity in the solution increase. It is because of more repulsive
forces occur between charged molecule in the solution at higher acetic acid
concentration. Electrospun PVA/chitosan nanofiber diameters for 1%, 5%, 10%,
15%, and 20% acetic acid were 160 nm±18, 134±11 nm, 101±11 nm, 95±18 nm, and
63±12 nm, respectively. The more acetic acid in solution, however, the more beads
will appear. Electrospun PVA/chitosan nanofiber with free of beads is produced from
PVA/chitosan solutions with mass ratio 10/2 and fiber diameter obtained is 120±12
nm. Additon of mass ratio become 10/3 makes the the solution more difficult to
electrsospin and lead to very slow nanofiber production. FTIR spectra showed that
electrospun nanofiber consist of PVA and chitosan. Meanwhile, XRD data showed
that nanofiber from PVA/chitosan blend has very lower crystallinity than nanofiber
from pure PVA. The nanofiber also can maintain its fiber structure after soaking in
KOH 40 wt% solution for 24 hours and potentially behave to be electrolyte
membrane for fuel cells application. |
