Abstract
surface reduction. FT-IR spectroscopy indicated the successful reduction modification and water contact angle results proved the improved wetting ability by this modification process. DSC and TGA analysis showed that the micro/nano fiber membranes possessed a high melting point and thermal decomposition temperature. Mechanical tests showed that as fiber membranes, PK micro/nano fiber membranes had relatively high mechanical strength, furthermore the mechanical strength can be easily enhanced by controlling the fiber morphology. From these results, it was concluded that the PK micro/nano fiber membranes could be a promising candidate for many applications such as organic solvent-resistant membranes, high-safety battery separators, oil-water separation,
