Ultrafine and uniform electrospun PVA nanofibers was employed to take action on cotton fibers through crosslinking by 3-Isocyanatomethyl-3, 5, 5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate (IPDI). The prepared PVA nanofibers had a diameter of about 200-300nm, and SEM photos suggested that crosslinking not only happened between PVA and cotton fibers but also in PVA nanofibers itself. In order to draw a comparison, experiments under different spinning time were carried out, and the results obviously showed that as the spinning time increased, fibers interaction reinforced. FTIR analysis results demonstrated that there was a new chemical bond arising after IPDI´s crosslinking.
