Versions Notes

The study aimed to synthesize nanofibers based on styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block-copolymers (SEBS) [1] and its composite derivatives, through the electrospinning (Figure 1) process [2]. Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) 1652 manufactured by Kraton was used as the basic polymer. This is a translucent thermoplastic elastomer, with a linear structure of triblock copolymer based on styrene and ethylene/butylene (SEBS), and with a Styrene/Rubber ratio of 30/70. Polymeric composites were synthesized in toluene solution, using SEBS and graphene at a gravimetric ratio of 80/20 and 90/10.
The composite materials based on SEBS and graphene, with a concentration of 20% polymer in toluene were used for the manufacture of nanofibers by electrospinning (Figure 2).
Nanofibers manufactured based on SEBS and SEBS with graphene composites were investigated by structural, thermal and chemical properties. The nanofibers based on SEBS and graphene obtained by electrospinning were characterized by ATR-FTIR analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results indicated an improvement of thermal and chemical properties of nanofibers composites based on SEBS and graphene, compared to SEBS 1652 elastomer.
