摘要

Abstract

Polynaphthalimide (PNI) with six-membered imide ring (

-PI) has better chemical resistance than five-membered imide ring (

-PI)

but is difficult to be processed into nanofibers due to the poor processability. In this work

we proposed a template strategy to fabricate nanofiber

-PI membranes and their composite membranes. Neat

-PI and

-PI composite fibrous membranes were prepared using high-molecular-weight polymers

-PAA and PVP as templates by electrospinning. FTIR

DMA

TGA and tensile tests were used to characterize their chemical structures

thermal stability and mechanical properties. Further eye-observation

micro-morphology investigation and tensile tests were applied to evaluate the chemical resistance of nanofibrous membranes in strong acid

strong alkaline

and concentrated salt. The results demonstrated that

-PI nanofibrous membranes possessed the best thermal stability

best acid

alkaline

and salt resistance with the highest mechanical retention. This study will provide basic information for high-performance electrospun

-PI nanofiber membranes and provide opportunities for applications of PIs in different chemically harsh environments.
