Effect of Orientation on Properties of Ultrafine Fibers Produced by Electrostatic Molding from Poly-3-Hydroxybutyrate

Abstract

Using the method of electrostatic molding from poly-3-hydroxybutyrate solutions, non-oriented and oriented ultrathin fibers (UF) and forming non-woven matrices were produced, and their properties were studied. After measuring the physical-mechanical characteristics of the products obtained by the ESM method, a positive effect of orientation on the strength properties (Young’s modulus and tensile strength), porosity and vapor permeability was revealed
