Morphology engineering processed nanofibrous membranes with secondary structure for high-performance air filtration

Yankang Deng et al.

Summary: This study presents the fabrication of high-performance and ecofriendly nanofibers with a hierarchical structure. The nanofibers, created by green electrospinning and thermal treatment, exhibit a unique wrinkled helical structure that enhances the physical interception of particulate pollutants. The incorporation of HAP nanoparticle contributes to the improvement of PM capturing ability through electrostatic adsorption.

High performance, environmentally friendly and sustainable nanofiber membrane filter for removal of particulate matter 1.0

Jiaxin Cui et al.

Summary: This study prepared an environmentally friendly PVA-TA composite nanofiber membrane filter using green electrospinning and physical cross-linking method, achieving a filtration efficiency of 99.5% for PM1.0 with a pressure drop of only 35 Pa. The mechanical properties of the membrane were improved due to the intermolecular hydrogen bond between PVA and TA, making it suitable for practical application of air filtration.
