The present invention discloses a method for preparing a polyurethane film, comprising the steps of: i) dissolving polyurethane into a first solvent to form a first solution; ii) dissolving salt into a second solvent to form a second solution; iii) preparing a spinning stock solution by mixing said first solution and said second solution; iv) spinning said spinning stock solution in an electrospinning device to obtain a polyurethane film; v) providing a container to which a third solvent is sprayed; and vi) arranging said polyurethane film in said container for a period of time.

Methods for preparing polyurethane film and fabrics comprising the same

The invention provides an enhanced electrospun film made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and at least one low-melting-point polymer in a ratio of 99.9:0.1-90:10 by weight, and the low-melting-point polymer having a melting point lower than the polyvinylidene fluoride and a softening point in the range of 110-140° C. The enhanced electrospun film exhibits excellent mechanical properties, higher moisture permeability and hydrostatic pressure resistance. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing the enhanced PVDF electrospun film, and use of the enhanced PVDF electrospun film in preparing a waterproof and moisture permeable product.

Electrospun film, method for manufacturing the same and use of such electrospun film

The present invention discloses a unidirectional moisturizing nanofiber facial mask substrate with asymmetric wettability and preparation thereof. The preparation includes: preparing a superhydrophilic electrospun fiber membrane on a substrate by electrospinning; preparing a hydrophobic electrospun fiber membrane by electrospinning on a lateral surface of the superhydrophilic electrospun fiber membrane away from the substrate to form a double-layered membrane; and removing the substrate, and drying the double-layered membrane to obtain the asymmetric unidirectional moisturizing facial mask substrate with one side being superhydrophilic and the other side being hydrophobic. The superhydrophilic layer can absorb a nutrient solution and be applied to the skin surface, while the hydrophobic layer can keep itself dry, reduce the consumption of the nutrient solution and inhibit volatilization of the nutrient solution. The process is simple, uses readily available materials, and is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and low-cost, thus solving several key problems with current commercial facial mask substrates.

Preparation method of a unidirectional moisturizing nanofiber facial mask substrate with asymmetric wettability

A water-soluble unidirectional moisture transport traditional Chinese medicine facial mask and a preparation method thereof. The facial mask includes a facial mask substrate and a facial mask effective ingredient layer, wherein a lateral surface of the facial mask substrate is a hydrophobic surface, and the other lateral surface is a superhydrophilic surface; the facial mask effective ingredient layer is loaded to the superhydrophilic surface, in which facial mask effective ingredients include a traditional Chinese medicine colloid. In use, by simply spraying water, the effective ingredients such as the traditional Chinese medicine on the surface can be quickly dissolved to exert effects. Its hydrophobic layer can be kept dry, which not only delays volatilization of liquid and prolongs the effective time, but also is easy to operate and is clean and hygienic. The present invention has a simple preparation method, is non-harmful and non-toxic, low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
