Investigation of electrical and surface properties of spunbond nonwovenfabrics coated with graphene oxide and formed PVDF nano fibresvia electrospinning on IT

Graphene oxide (GO) and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are among the primary materials constituting the basis of conductivity and sensor research. In this study, PVDF and GO-filled PVDF nanofibers were formed by the electrospinning method on the polyester spunbond nonwoven fabric coated with aqueous graphene oxide dispersion via the dip coating method. The graphene oxide dip-coated spunbond nonwoven fabric as a substrate was used. Then, nanofiber surfaces with PVDF and GO-filled PVDF were formed by the electrospinning method onto GO-coated and reduced nonwoven fabrics. Polymer solutions were prepared as pure PVDF with 0.5 wt% – 1 wt% – 2 wt% GO. The chemical reduction operation by using Vitamin C and rosehip extract powder to nonwoven spunbond fabric coated with graphene oxide and forming GO-filled PVDF nanofibers on it, was processed. Characterization analyses of nonwoven spunbond fabric samples were performed by using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. To determine the functional properties, electrical resistance, water contact angle, and mechanical strength measurement results were evaluated. The use of nature- and human-friendly reducing agents in the present study is in alignment with the principle of sustainability.
