Abstract:

In order to improve the flexibility of pure polypropylene (PP) microfiber materials, polypropylene/polyester (PP/PET) bi-component micro-nanofibers were prepared by melt-blown blending processing using PET and PP chips. The melt flowing index and thermal properties of the materials were studied, and the morphological characteristics and flexibility of the samples were analyzed experimentally. The sample morphology shows a typical melt-blown fiber webs structure, and the fine and coarse fibers overlap in the horizontal direction forming a layer-by-layer morphology. Besides, the average fiber diameter decreases from 5.52 μm to 3.61 μm when the PET mass ratio increases from 8% to 15%. A clear phase interface is observed between PET and PP components in the bi-component fiber and PET exists in the form of fibers with diameters ranging from 10-100 nm. Furthermore, the flexibility score of the samples increases from 29.91 to 35.20 as PET content increases.

Key words: melt blowing nonwoven, micro-nano fiber, flexibility, polypropylene, polyester
