Abstract: Nanocapsules containing hexadecane (HD) as core material and
polystyrene (PS) as shell, were electrospun with polyethylene oxide
(PEO) as a matrix material into the fiber webs. The morphology
and thermal properties of PEO fibers containing (1) both PS nanocapsules
with core-shell morphology and solid PS particles, (2) only
solid PS particles, and (3) without any PS particles, were compared
and the effect of PEO concentration on morphology of the resultant
fibers have been studied. The resultant fibers were characterized by
means of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis
(TGA). Both TEM observation and DSC analyses confirmed that
the PS nanocapsules were encapsulated within the PEO nanofibers.
The fibers had an average diameter of 950 nm for nanocapsules containing
parts, 300 nm for solid particles containing parts, and
150 nm for usual parts. The phase change temperatures and phase
transition heat of the produced fibers were determined by DSC
analyses. TGA was also used to confirm the preparation of multi
phase fibers and to determine the amount of HD within the fibers.
