Abstract

The wetting behavior of polyamide films was modified by depositing electrospun nanofibers manufactured from the same polyamide material. Glycerol contact angles on the film surfaces with low coverage of electrospun nanofibers were successfully predicted using a Cassie-Baxter relationship but could not be predicted for high electrospun nanofiber coverage.
