Abstract
The electro-spinnability of poly(vinylidne fluoride) (PVDF) solutions vary based on the characteristics of the blended additives and solutions. In this study, we prepared PVDF-based polymer blends comprising of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and carbon black nanoparticles. The electro-spinnability of PVDF nanofibers at different polymer concentrations was analyzed using the storage to loss moduli ratio known as the Cole-Cole plot. In addition, the van Gurp-Palmen plot, comprising of the complex modulus and phase angle, was used to describe the polymer network behavior in the PVDF solutions.
