Abstract
The nanofibers of ultra-high molecular weight polypropylene (UHMWPP) composite made with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by electrospinning process. The high-temperature setup developed by hardware modifications in electrospinning machine to perform such experiments. Bilayer composite mat of UHMWPP and PET nanofiber was fabricated by deposition of monolayer of UHMWPP over PET monolayer by electrospining process. The developed composite mat products were characterized by SEM, DSC and other physico-chemical methods. The composite mat of UHMWPP with PET observed 30% improvement in breaking force compared to mat of neat PET material. The developed UHMWPP/PEt composite mat used as reinforcing fabric in ethylene/1-octene copolymer based elastomeric matrix for mechanical performance studies. We observed significant improvement in mechanical properties for developed UHMWPP and PET composite mat products.
