摘要
A temperature-responsive polymer was synthesized by co-polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and acryloyloxybenzophenone. Meanwhile, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was modified by glycidyl methacrylate. Taking the synthesized polymer and the modified PVA as fiber-forming precursor reagents, of which spinning solutions were then prepared, respectively as the raw materials for producing fiber. Finally, the temperature-responsive Janus nanofibers were fabricated by side-by-side electrospinning under UV irradiation. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observation results show that the prepared nanofibers have double-faced structure. The results of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveal that the applied ultraviolet irradiation facilitates the formation of crosslinking structure for the double-faced nanofibers. The effect of side-by-side electrospinning process conditions on the yield and average diameter of the Janus nanofibers was investigated, it was found that the yield of the Janus nanofibers can exceed 90% when the flow rates of the two spinning solutions are less than 0.3 mL/h and the spinning voltage is lower than 22 kV. In addition, the average diameter of the Janus nanofibers can be adjusted by changing the receiving distance within a certain range. The prepared Janus nanofibers with a water-soluble polymer content (mass fraction) of less than 2% have good stability in water. When the temperature of the aqueous medium increased from 25℃ to 35℃, the prepared Janus nanofibers can transform from a stretching configuration to a curling one, and this temperature-responsiveness is reversible. © 2023 Chinese Journal of Materials Research.
