AB - This study focuses on the fabrication of polylactic acid/graphene oxide  (PLA/GO) porous nanofiber membranes using spiral electrospinning technology.  With PLA as the solute and nanographene oxide as the additive, the optimal  process parameters for preparing pure PLA porous nanofibers were first  determined through orthogonal experiments. Then, PLA/GO composite nanofibers  with different GO contents (0.1 wt.%, 0.2 wt.%, 0.5 wt.%, 1.0 wt.%) were  prepared. A series of characterization techniques, including  Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, pore size  distribution analysis, mechanical testing, and contact angle measurement,  were employed to comprehensively analyze the effects of GO addition on the  structure and properties of the nanofiber membranes. The results reveal  that the addition of GO significantly enhances the mechanical properties of  the PLA/GO composite fiber membranes, with notable improvements in fiber  fracture strength and elongation at break. Meanwhile, the addition of GO has  no significant impact on the wetting performance and crystal structures of  the fiber membranes. As the content of oxidized graphite increases, the  average pore size decreases and the total number of pores increases These  findings lay a solid foundation for further exploring the adsorption  properties of PLA/GO porous nanofibers and expand their potential  applications in various fields.
