Fluorine-free composite nanofibrous membrane with enhanced far-infrared emissivity, waterproofness, and breathability via electrospinning/spray process
Far-infrared materials are potentially beneficial for human health, while waterproof and breathable nanofibrous membranes are desirable in the medical and healthcare fields. In this study, electrospun polyacrylonitrile/tourmaline (PAN/TM) was integrated with electrosprayed thermoplastic polyurethane/silicone rubber (TPU/SR) followed by heat treatment to fabricate a waterproof and breathable nanofibrous membrane (PTTS WBM). The PAN/TM membrane provided high porosity for breathability while incorporating TM nanoparticles (NPs) for excellent far-infrared emissivity. SR is a fluorine-free water repellent that improved waterproofness, the bead-on-string structure of TPU formed bonding structure after heat treatment, resulting in reinforced mechanical performance. The results showed the PTTS-3:2 membrane exhibited excellent hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 139.2°, a desirable far-infrared emissivity of 0.93, and a temperature rise of 2.4 °C. When heat-treated at 120 °C, the mechanical properties were also greatly enhanced with a tensile stress of 12.8 MPa and hydrostatic pressure resistance of 32.2 kPa. Furthermore, the as-prepared heated PTTS-3:2 membrane had excellent corrosion resistance with no substantial morphological changes after immersion in concentrated acidic/alkaline solutions for 12 h. Thus, the multifunctional PTTS WBM combining the far-infrared emissivity was expected to have a wide range of applications in outdoor equipment, protective clothing, healthcare, and other fields.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
