Abstract
- Electrospinning is not only a technique to fabricate macroscopic fiber but also a method to control the microstructure. In this study, high-temperature solution electrospinning was used to prepare isotactic polypropylene (iPP) fibers. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation indicates that a single electrospun iPP fiber consists of many nano-fibrils. Based on SEM observation, these nano-fibrils are shish-kebab structure. Electrostatic elongational force involved in the electrospinning process is considered to be responsible for the development of shish-kebab structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
