Porous Fiber Formation In A Polymer-Solvent System Undergoing Solvent Evaporation, Thein Kyu Sep 2006

Porous Fiber Formation In A Polymer-Solvent System Undergoing Solvent Evaporation, Thein Kyu

Thein Kyu

Temporal evolution of the fiber morphology during dry spinning has been investigated in the framework of Cahn-Hilliard equation [J. Chem. Phys.28, 258 (1958)] pertaining to the concentration order parameter or volume fraction given by the Flory-Huggins free energy of mixing [P. J. Flory, Principles of Polymer Chemistry (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1953), p. 672] in conjunction with the solventevaporation rate. To guide the solventevaporation induced phase separation, equilibrium phase diagram of the starting polymer solution was established on the basis of the Flory-Huggins free energy of mixing. The quasi-steady-state approximation has been adopted to account for the nonconserved nature …
