Abstract:

In order to prepare a superfine fiber membrane with waterproof and moisture-permeable properties, polyurethane/silica (PU/SiO2) membranes were prepared by electrospinning. The spinning solution was prepared by adding hydrophobic SiO2 to PU solution. The effects of spinning solution concentration and membranes thickness on the pore size of the membranes were analyzed by software simulation. The waterproof and moisture-permeable properties of the membranes were characterized by the water contact angle, hydrostatic pressure, air permeability and moisture permeability. The effects of different SiO2 concentrations on the waterproof and moisture-permeable properties of the PU/SiO2 composite superfine fiber membranes were studied. The results show that the pore size of membranes increase with the spinning solution concentrations, and decrease with the increase of the membranes thickness. When the concentration of SiO2 is 9% and that of PU is 18%, the composite membranes are endowed with the water contact angle of 131°, the hydrostatic pressure of 6.4 kPa, the air permeability of 33.4 mm/s and the moisture permeability up to 8.065 kg/(m2·d). Meantime, the broken stress of the PU/SiO2 composite membranes reaches 4.16 MPa, and the elongation at break reaches 184%. Therefore, the membranes have better dimensional stability than pure PU membranes.

Key words: polyurethane, silica, electrospinning, waterproof and moisture-permeable property
