This book provides a comparison between melt electrospinning and meltblowing as techniques for the production of polypropylene nanofibers. The author compares the morphological, structural, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the different produced fibers. Moreover, the degree of thermal degradation of the different fibers is also analyzed. The book is useful to chemists and material scientists working on the synthesis of nanofibers by melt processes, showing the limitations of each technique for nanofiber fabrication.

Compares two melt processes for the fabrication of nanofibers Provides the limitations of meltblowing and melt electrospinning on the synthesis of nanofibers Useful for synthetic chemists and scientists working with polypropylene synthesis and characterization Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
