Abstract

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) offers wide design opportunities because of its rapid prototyping that provides researchers with the acquisition of many different material properties from softness and jelly-like properties to hardness and rigidity. In this regard, poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-cobutylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymer has many positive aspects and is very promising when the design and requirements of devices for different applications are considered. The combination of thermoplastic and elastomeric properties of SEBS triblock copolymer makes it one of the potential materials in the production of large-scale materials. In this study, highly elastic and functional nanofibers from SEBS triblock copolymer with the diameters of 286±93 nm were produced successfully by electrospinning for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. We believe that SEBS-based functional electrospun nanofibers will find widespread applications in medicine and water purification in the near future
