ABSTRACT

Spinnable pitch for melt-electrospinning was obtained from pyrolized fuel oil by electronbeam (E-beam) radiation treatment. The modified pitch was characterized by measuring itselemental composition, softening point, viscosity, molecular weight, and spinnability. Thesoftening point and viscosity properties of the modified pitch were influenced by reformingtypes (heat or E-beam radiation treatment) and the use of a catalyst. The softening point andmolecular weight were increased in proportion to absorbed doses of E-beam radiation andadded AlCl3 due to the formation of pitch by free radical polymerization. The range of themolecular weight distribution of the modified pitch becomes narrow with better spinningowing to the generated aromatic compounds with similar molecular weight. The diameter ofmelt-electrospun pitch fibers under applied power of 20 kV decreased 53% (4.7 ± 0.9 μm)compared to that of melt-spun pitch fibers (10.2 ± 2.8 μm). It is found that E-beam treatmentfor reforming could be a promising method in terms of time-savings and cost-effectiveness,and the melt-electrospinning method is suitable for the preparation of thinner fibers thanthose obtained with the conventional melt-spinning method.
