Abstract
The effects of the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) on electrospinning and water resistance of electrospun PVA/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) composite fibers were explored. At a constant concentration of PVA solution (∼8wt%), the average diameter of electrospun PVA fibers increased with increasing DH. The water resistance of heat-treated PVA/ PAA composite fibers was dramatically enhanced, and was also affected by PAA weight fractions (φPAA) in PVA/PAA blend solutions.
