The  aim  of  the  scientific  work  is  to  develop  a  technology  for  obtaining  of  ultrafine nonwoven  materials  based  on  a  polymer  composition  of  polyvinyl  alcohol  and  polyvinyl  acetate  with  the addition of chitosan, which was dissolved in lactic and acetic acids. Methodology. To assess the characteristics of the compositions, the viscosity and surface tension of working solutions were determined by capillary viscometry, and electrical conductivity - by conductometric method.  The  effect  of  thermal  stabilization  of  materials  based  on  chitosan  was  investigated  using  their sorption  properties.  The  morphological  composition  of  nonwovens  was  investigated  by  the  method  of scanning electron microscopy. Findings.  A  technology  has  been  developed  for  the  obtaining  of  ultrafine  materials  based  on chitosan dissolved in lactic and acetic acids by the method of electrospinning. The parameters for obtaining fibers from the studied compositions were determined. As a result of the analysis of the obtained ultrafine nonwoven  materials  by  the  method  of  scanning  electron  microscopy,  it  was  found  that  with  a  voltage between  the  electrodes  of  30  kV,  fibers  with  a  diameter  of  0.3  to  0.9  μm  are obtained.  According  to the statistical distribution of the diameters of polymer fibers in ultrafine nonwoven materials, it was determined that, depending on the components of the composition, 72-77% of the fibers have a diameter of 0.3 μm. Originality.  The  scientific  novelty  of  the  work  lies  in  the  determination  of  the  basic  laws  of  the electrospinning process using the natural polymer of chitosan and the peculiarities of the preparation of its solutions  in  lactic  and  acetic  acids.  The  effect  of  viscosity,  surface  tension  and  electrical  conductivity  of working solutions of the compositions on the process of electrospinning has been established. Practical value. Technological parameters for the obtaining of ultrafine nonwoven materials based on  the  composition  of  polyvinyl  alcohol  and  polyvinyl  acetate  with  the  addition  of  chitosan  have  been developed by the method of electrospinning; the possibility of adjusting the fiber diameter by choosing a chitosan solvent has been determined.

In this paper, the surface morphologies of polyvinyl alcohol/milk nanofibers produced via electrospinning technique were investigated. The electrospinning process was performed at various processing parameters (flow rate, applied voltage) and different polyvinyl acetate to milk ratios (100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40). The scanning electron microscopy and Image J software were used to characterize the surface morphologies, especially the diameter distribution of electro spun nanofibers. The results of scanning electron microscopy show that the diameter of polyvinyl acetate/milk nanofibers increases with the increase of the spinning speed and spinning voltage but decreases with the increase of the weight percentage of milk in the spinning solution. The potential applications of this bicomponent nanofibers are numerous and diverse. The research results in present paper can contribute to better control of the electrospinning process and thus expanding the applicabilities, such as dressings for wound healing in sports.

Graphene, due to its two-dimensional structure, has some unique properties. For example, the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of graphene are an order of magnitude higher than the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of copper. For this reason, graphene-based nanofluids are now used in many industries. Due to the effect of self-organization of graphene nanoparticles with hydrocarbon molecules, the use of graphene has become possible in the oil industry. Graphene-based nanofluids are used as a displacement fluid to increase the oil recovery coefficient. The displacing ability of graphene-based nanofluids is concentration dependent. An increase in the concentration of nanoparticles entails an increase in viscosity, which negatively affects the performance characteristics of the nanofluid. This problem is partially solved due to the synergistic effect, hybrid nanofluids consisting of nanoparticles of graphene and metals or carbides enhance the displacing ability. Using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and molecular modelling methods, this work has studied the formation of supramolecular structures that form a transition region at the oil-nanofluid interface with low surface tension as a result of a synergistic effect in the interaction of graphene planar nanoparticles and silicon carbide nanoparticles covered with graphene layers (Core-shell). The model experiments on a Hele-Shaw cell have shown that in a porous medium, such hybrid nanofluids have a high displacement ability of residual oil. At the same time, the oil — nanofluid interface remains stable, without the formation of viscous fingers. During the study by scanning electron microscopy, a transition region was observed, in the structuring of which the nanoparticles were directly involved. The displacement efficiency of a hybrid nonofluid depends on the concentration of nanoparticles and their interaction.

Abstract Starch plasticized with glycerol and blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is recommended for use as a biodegradable material. The present article reports the results of studies of the natural weather ageing of starch/PVA blends having various amounts of glycerol in natural weather conditions of Saudi Arabia, with special reference to morphology and thermal behavior. Neat PVA has been used as a control to understand its behavior in its blend with starch. Differential scanning calorimeter studies indicated that an increase in the exposure time of samples to natural environment increases the crystallinity of PVA due to the breakage of intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus facilitating the removal of the amorphous portion of the polymers in the blend. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that an increase in glycerol content enhanced the degradation of the polymer, which is corroborated with the findings from the surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy analyses.

We prepared the polyaniline@polypyrrole (PAn@PPy) conductive composite by a novel method. The struction like Pre-prepared PAn as the core and PPy as the shell for the composite has been prepared by in-situ polymerization. The PAn@PPy conductive composite presents an electrical conductivity of 12.5 S/cm, which is much higher than pure PAn. The synthesized polymer composites are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results indicated that PPy successfully grafted on PAn and the heat resistance of nanocomposite is remarkably increased.

Conductive polymer films were prepared of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) wt. % multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by electrospinning technique. The morphologies of the synthesized films were tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Average fiber diameters gauged statically was (115nm) for (PVA/10 wt. % MWCNT film) while (170nm) for pure PVA electro spun film. Electrical conductivity (EC) of Polymeric nanofiber films improve by increasing MWCNT addition concentration from (3.69 × 10-7 S/ cm) for the pure (PVA) film to (1.24 ×10-2 S/cm) for the film with 10 wt. % MWCNT. The maximum stress of PVA film were increased by adding MWCNTs concentration, the modulus of elasticity was enhanced from 12.87 MPa for pure PVA to 49.89 MPa for PVA/8wt% MWCNT.

In this work, an insoluble three dimensional (3D) porous polymeric structure and their metal complexes were synthesised by the condensation reactions of meta(m)-phenylenediamine, para(p)-phenylenediamine and glutaraldehyde. The morphological and spectral features of the porous polymeric structures were determined using different analytical and spectroscopic methods, including field emission scanning electron microscopy, four-point probe electrical conductivity, photoluminescence spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, surface area Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and magnetic and thermal behaviours. According to the obtained data, the shape, size and photoluminescence properties of the compounds, especially the conductivity, were clearly changed after the metalation processes.

Two kinds of new immobilized bio-beads in gel were produced with calcium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol and activated carbon fiber. Scanning electron microscopy was used to detect the microstructure and MB were applied to enhance degradation of benzene. It shows that activated carbon fiber was a excellent carrier material to increase MB stability and enhance the degradation of benzene by changing the microsructure. CA-MB in this study was characteristic of loose interface, intensely homogeneous holes and well-reusability. 80% of benzene could be reduced after120h and removal tallied with one-order knetics.Otherwise,for PVA-MB, it possed more compact ouside and irregular tunnles and poles inside.Benzene removal process was analysed to compose of absorption and biodegradation.The immobilization inoculum of 137.77mg/L was optimal with the most stabilities and the best degradation capability for both CA-MB and PVA-MB. Moreover, it is the addition of ACF as encapsulated carrier that made CA-MB superior to PVA-MB in benzene removal and reutilization.
