The current image by Svetlana Viktorovna Kononova, Denis Sapegin, and colleagues represents phase heterogeneity between sulfonated polyimide and poly(amide-imide) polymer phases in the composite film with 7:3 polyimide to poly(amide-imide) weight ratio. Most likely, in this composite, a three-dimensional crystallizing network of polyimide is formed around poly(amide-imide) which is to form an amorphous phase. This assumption was confirmed by the data of the energy-dispersive analysis since it is in the region of the network structure sulfur atoms were detected, which are present in this composite only in the structure of sulfonated polyimide.

Polypropylene microfibers via solution electrospinning under ambient conditions

Chlorinated polypropylene (PP-Cl)-based microfibers are synthesized via simple solution electrospinning process under ambient conditions for the first time. Moreover, it has been reported the effect of solution concentration, feed rate, applied voltage, and tip-to-collector distance on the fabrication of electrospun PP-Cl microfibers. Their morphological, wetting, and thermal properties are investigated by scanning electron microscope, water contact angle, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analyses.
