Preparation method of core-shell structured synthetic polymer-natural polymer composite fiber

The invention discloses a preparation method of a core-shell structured synthetic polymer-natural polymer composite fiber, and the method comprises the steps of: (1) selecting one or several of synthetic polymers to dissolve in a solvent, and conducting stirring until complete dissolution; (2) selecting a natural polymer to dissolve in a solvent, or adding a spinning assistant, and carrying out stirring until complete dissolution; and (3) taking the solution prepared in step (1) as an outer tube spinning solution, adopting the solution prepared in step (2) as an inner tube spinning solution, injecting them into the inner tube and the outer tube of a coaxial spinneret, and performing coaxial electrospinning at room temperature. The core-shell structured nano-fiber prepared by the invention selects the synthetic polymer as the shell layer, and can inhibit water molecules from penetrating the natural polymer as the core layer. The natural polymer as the core layer can more effectively encapsulate active substances to avoid inactivation of the active substances in the presence of an organic solvent, so that the core-shell structured composite fiber can play a good drug sustained release role in the drug carrier field, and an integral activity can be maintained.

Production of submicron diameter fibers by two-fluid electrospinning process

Electrospinning of materials that are difficult or impossible to process into nanofibers by conventional fiber-forming techniques or by electrospinning are prepared by an electrospinning procedure which uses an electrospinnable outer “shell” fluid around an inner “core” fluid, which may or may not be electrospinnable, to form nanofibers of the inner core fluid having a core / shell morphology. The resulting shell around the nanofiber can remain in place or be removed during post-processing with the core of the fiber remaining intact. The dual-fluid electrospinning process can produce core fibers having diameters less than 100 nm, insulated nanowires, as well as tough, bio-compatible silk fibers. Alternatively, the core can be removed leaving a hollow fiber of the shell fluid.
