Abstract

Thermal behaviors of electrospinned polymer nanofibers including azidodeoxy cellulose nitrate (ACN) and polyurethane (PU) were studied by thermal analysis techniques i.e., differential scanning calorimetery (DSC) and thermogravimetery (TG). Thermoanalytical results revealed that main thermal degradation for the ACN nanofibers occurs during three individual steps at the temperature range of 160–500 °C. Similarly, PU nanofibers decompose completely during three steps at the temperature range of 190–460 °C. However, nanofibers of ACN and PU have lower thermal stabilities in comparison with their bulk form. Thermal decomposition kinetic of the nanofibers was studied by non-isothermal DSC at different heating rates. Meanwhile, thermal decomposition kinetic of nanofibers was studied by non-isothermal DSC at different heating rates.
