Abstract
Ductile appearance, remarkable length-diameter ratio, flexible fabrication properties and featured additional functions of functional composite fibers elicit great interest in applications. In this paper, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite fibers with different graphene oxide additive (1-7 wt.%) were spun via continuous wet-spinning route and the resultant fibers revealed improved thermal, UV blocking and dye absorptive properties. In details, the component of fibers was characterized by SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD and the results indicated that the graphene oxide dispersed well in chitosan/PVA matrix and the hydrogen bond was occurred between these components. As expected, the highest graphene oxide content case (7 wt.% GO) possessed the extraordinary UV blocking property as its UPF value reached to 500 arising from UPF=8.11 of 0 wt.% GO case. However, the composite fiber with 1 wt.% GO, rather than 7 wt.% GO, expressed the remarkable thermal stability and dye absorptive property, and the dye absorptive property of 1 wt.% GO showed the highest absorptive capacity of 407 mg/g among all the resultant fibers.
