Optimization of the electrospinning process of polyurethane nanofibers and their filtration performance for use in respiratory protection mask filters
Background and Aim: Electrospun nanofibers can be used to produce filter media in personal protective equipment for the military. The present study aimed to optimize the electrospinning process used to create polyurethane nanofiber substrates and compare the optimum substrate filtration performance with a typical commercial substrate used in the structure of N95 respirators. Methods: In this ex...
متن کاملRecycled PET Nanofibers for Water Filtration Applications
Water shortage is an immediate and serious threat to our world population. Inexpensive and scalable methods to clean freshwater and wastewater are in high demand. Nanofiber filtration membranes represent a next generation nonwoven filter media due to their unique properties. Polyethlyene terephthalate (PET) is often used in the packaging of water and other commonly used materials, leading to a ...
متن کاملElectrospun Polyurethane/β-Cyclodextrin Composite Membranes for Aerosol Filtration and Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds from the Air
Introduction: Electrospun nanomembranes have been used for effective air filtration due to their potential for active surface modification. This study aims to synthesize polyurethane (PU) nanofiber membrane incorporated with different amounts of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) along with aerosol filtration from the air. Material and Methods: First, PU was sy...
متن کاملFabrication of Compound Nanofibers For Antibacterial Applications in Filtration
In the present study, fabrication and characterization of compound composite nanofibers of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with nano silver and Polyamide 6 (PA6) are demonstrated. Compound composite fibers with core-shell structure were made using co-axial electrospinning method. The shell was made up of nano silver (Ag) impregnated PVA while PA6 was the core material. These compound composite nanofibe...
متن کاملStress-Strain Behavior of Thermoplastic Polyurethane
The large strain nonlinear stress-strain behavior of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) exhibits strong hysteresis, rate dependence and softening. Thermoplastic polyurethanes are copolymers composed of hard and soft segments. The hard and soft segments phase separate to form a microstructure of hard and soft domains typically on a length scale of a few tens of nanometers. Studies have revealed ...
