Applying different techniques for evaluating the resistance to moisture of electrospun PVA nanofibers by Alessandro Estarque de Oliveira, Mônica Lopes Aguiar, Vádila Giovana Guerra

“…A methodology was then purposed, measuring the pressure drop before and after the flow of clean air stream (~15.0 cm s-1) through the filter media with different contents of water (49, 68, and 90% R.H.) to verify the humidity resistance of the fibers over time (zero to 60 min). The samples were resistant to humidity and no significant structural changes occurred in the fibers after the process in accordance with analysis of scanning electron microscopy images. …”
