AB - Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonates were used as a surfactant to obtain  polyacrylonitrile nanofibers by a modified bubble-electrospinning using a  copper cone-shaped air nozzle. The properties of the electrospun solutions  were investigated using viscosity meter, conductivity meter and rheometer,  and the effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonates concentration on the  morphology, mechanical property and production of polyacrylonitrile  nanofibers were studied. The results showed the addition of sodium dodecyl  benzene sulfonates could effectively decrease the viscosity of the  solution, increase the electric conductivity of the solution, and promote  the generation of bubbles, which resulted in enhancing tensile strength and  decreasing the production of nanofibers.
