Effect of Nanofiber Diameter on Filtration Efficiency

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrospinning and its application in filtration area have been caught much attention because of the large surface-to-volume ratio of nanoweb , which affects the filtration efficiency by possibly giving more particle-capture sites. In this study, PAN is electrospun to produce ultra-fine nonwovens, and its characteristics as filter media are investigated.
