This method is promising as it enables the spinning of hydrophobic polymers using water as an electrospinning medium, thereby eliminating the need for toxic organic solvents. However, Suspension Electrospinning presents some challenges, as the use of a template polymer is necessary to form continuous fibers, but increasing its amount reduces the fibers´ water resistance. This work focuses on producing water-resistant nanofibers by optimizing template concentration and exploring new strategies. The minimum template concentration needed to produce uniform, water-resistant nanofibers from a monomodal acrylic latex is identified. Additionally, a high solids content bimodal acrylic latex is spun for the first time, enhancing process productivity and allowing a 50% reduction in the template polymer compared to the monomodal system. Two additional novel strategies are employed to increase the water resistance of the nanofibers: thermal cross-linking of a carboxylic acid functionalized latex with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and spinning a high glass transition temperature latex followed by its coalescence before the template removal. Finally, the effectiveness of PVA and polyethylene oxide (PEO) as template polymers is compared.</p>","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202500181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145751207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, thermoplastics commonly used in material extrusion additive manufacturing (MEX) are not compatible with most recycling infrastructures; polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) is particularly problematic as it compromises the integrity of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling streams. Thus, circular recycling of PETG within the MEX ecosystem is necessary, but the comonomer, cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM), content differs across commercial sources. Here, we demonstrate that the reduction in the viscosity of the PETG through multiple cycles of print-test-reprocess to filament (recycling) is dependent on the sourcing but not directly correlated with the CHDM content or molar mass. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of the printed PETG are not significantly impacted by recycling over 5 prints. However, the ductility of the printed PETG decreases after recycling one time for the lowest CHDM content PETG while the ductility first increases and then decreases through multiple reprocess cycles with higher CHDM content in the PETG.
