Abstract
ABSTRACT This study innovatively used polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a multifunctional modifier to prepare nano‐zinc oxide and polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (Nano ZnO/PHMG) hybrid melt‐blown antibacterial composite materials by twin‐screw blending. PEG overcame traditional additives' single‐function limitation, achieving dual structural regulation and antibacterial enhancement. PEG rheological properties were modulated to produce multistage fiber structures, improving filtration performance, while simultaneously optimizing antibacterial component distribution through its water solubility. Systematic experiments revealed how PEG‐regulated local viscosity affected multistage fiber formation and pore distribution, directly impacting filtration performance. At 12% PEG loading (ABA‐PP‐12PEG), optimal comprehensive performance was demonstrated: 77.45% filtration efficiency (153.5% increased) with 34.0% lower resistance (11.28 Pa). Post‐treatment further enhanced performance to 80.06% efficiency and 10.68 Pa resistance. Antibacterial rates surged 6.7‐fold from 1.78 to 12.01.
期刊介绍:
For more than 30 years, Polymer Engineering & Science has been one of the most highly regarded journals in the field, serving as a forum for authors of treatises on the cutting edge of polymer science and technology. The importance of PE&S is underscored by the frequent rate at which its articles are cited, especially by other publications - literally thousand of times a year. Engineers, researchers, technicians, and academicians worldwide are looking to PE&S for the valuable information they need. There are special issues compiled by distinguished guest editors. These contain proceedings of symposia on such diverse topics as polyblends, mechanics of plastics and polymer welding.
