Preparation and Research of Polymolybdate/Polymer Composite Membrane by Electrospinning and its Photo-Catalytic Property

Abstract

Composite cellulosic membrane of PMMA and phosphomolybdic acid was prepared by electrospinning. During the progress, the factor of electrospinning and the optimum parameters was found out within the orthogonal combination experiment program. Then the morphology of the composite cellulosic membrane was observed by polarizing microscopy. To resolve PMMA, DMF and anhydrous alcohol were used. When their ratios were 1:1, the diameter of the fibre was the most homogeneous. During the electrospinning, the concentration of PMMA was the most important factor. When the concentrations were less then 10%, there were hardly fibres on the foil. The diameter of the fibre ranged from 0.5 to 1.2 μm along with the increment of the concentration of PMMA. The addition of phosphomolybdic acid made the diameter of the fibre decrease. IR-spectra showed that phosphomolybdic acid kept its Keggin structure, and it interacted with PMMA through hydrogen bond. The composite cellulosic membrane changed its color when imposed in bright space. UV spectra represented that the composite cellulosic membrane had a strong absorption peak at 700nm.
