Abstract
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD). In the present work, the additive effect of ionic fluorinated surfactants—anionic and cationic surfactants —on the diameter, morphology, and crystalline structure of PVDF nanofiber was investigated. The addition of ionic fluorinated surfactants is useful for the formation of bead-free homogeneous fiber. At a higher concentration of the ionic surfactants, thicker fiber was formed. In addition, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the addition of both ionic fluorinated surfactants causes a complete change in conformation from the initial α-phase of to the β-phase of PVDF during ESD. A possible mechanism based on the interaction between the polymer and surfactant molecules during ESD is discussed.
