Description
An electrospinning technique is simple method to fabricate porous structure with high surface area per unit volume. Addition of metal/ceramic nanoparticles in electrospinning process is possible to increase film characteristics such as mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Electrospun film shows various applications in diverse fields such as liquid and gas filter, drug delivery system and membrane for metal ion battery separator. In this investigation, we fabricate an electrospun zeolite embedded polyvinylidene fluoride (zeolite/PVDF) film for analysis the water absorption. The materials of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and zeolite have property with chemically resistance and water absorption, respectively. Electrospun zeolite/PVDF film shows water penetration phenomenon due to the capillary condensation by zeolite structure and is subsequently penetrated into porous structure of electrospun film. As a result, electrospun zeolite/PVDF film shows 4.2 times ratio absorbed mass of water per unit mass of film without deformation
