Abstract:

In this study, a solution was offered for the difficulty in electrospinning of ethylene?vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) nanofibers by introduction of inorganic salts, and an adhesive material with a framework structure was obtained based on this nanfibers. A series of composites was prepared by hot compression with an EVA nanofiber sheet between two polypropylene melt?blown nonwoven layers, and the effect of hot pressing temperature on their shear strength was investigated. Furthermore, the tensile properties and air filtration efficiency were evaluated for the composites obtained at the optimum temperature. The results indicated that the EVA nanofibers exhibited a good morphology when prepared at a spinning solution concentration of 6 wt%, a CHCl3/THF mass ratio of 7/3, and a LiCl addition amount of 0.2 wt%. The composites achieved the maximum shear strength at the hot pressing temperature of 80 °C, and their air filtration efficiency reached over 98.71 %. Such a value was evidently greater than the filtration efficiency of the 4?layer commercial melt?blown mask cloth. Compared to uncompounded melt?blown fabrics, there is a significant improvement in the mechanical properties for the composites prepared in this work.
