Abstract

Nonwoven fibers of cellulose triacetate (CTA) were continuously electrospun by using DMSO/chloroform co-solvent system and the size and morphology of fibers were investigated. It was found that the concentration of 8wt% CTA fibers were obtained from DMSO/chloroform with volume ratio of 1:1, 3:2, 2:1, 3:1. The average diameters of CTA fiber was decreased with decreasing chloroform content in the mixed solvent. The minimum diameter of the continuous electrospun cellulose triacetate fibers obtained in this work ranged between 210 and 880 nm.
