Abstract

Abstract Low strength is one of the main disadvantages of nanofibrous structures in some applications such as suture yarns. To overcome this matter, in the present research, a novel method was applied to improve the tensile properties of nanofiber yarns. For this purpose, nanofibers and particles of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) were added as a hot melt adhesive to nanofiber yarns in order to initiate adhesive bonding between nanofibers by two approaches. In the first one, Nylon 66/ PVAc hybrid nanofiber yarn was produced in opposite charged nozzles set up. In another approach, PVAc particles were electrosprayed through one of the nozzles while nylon 66 nanofibers were producing through another one. Afterward, thermal treatment was carried out for 78 seconds on samples in different temperatures. The results indicate that tensile strength was improved up to 1.97 and 1.7 times in comparison to nylon 66 nanofiberous yarn by adding PVAc nanofibers and particles, respectively. FTIR analysis was also carried out to assess the hybrid sample composition after heat treatment.
