Polyamide Nanofibers Reinforced Titanium Nanoparticles Composites for hydrophobic surfaces

[摘要] In this study, samples of polyamide (6) (PA 6) nanofibers armed with TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using an electrospinning method for the preparation of nanocomposite fibres. The nanofibers were prepared under 0.15% weight, 25 kV applied voltage, 15 cm electrospinning distance, 0.48 mm tip diameter and 0.3 ml/hr injection rate to obtain nanofibers with a diameter of about 100 nm and then reinforced with (50 nm diameter ) Titanium Nanoparticles. The properties and morphology of the surface were studied using the atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanner. The polyamide structure was also examined by the Fourier transform infrared radiation (FTIR) infrared device, and the contact angle was measured with water using a contact angle analyzer. The results showed that the diameter of the fibres ranged between 80-100 nm and contain some beads. The infrared test also showed that the intensity of the peaks decreases after the transformation of polyamide into nanofibric. The resulting surface has the hydrophobic properties, especially after the addition of Titanium nanoparticles.
