Polyamide Nanofiber-Based Air Filters for Transparent Face Masks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transparent face masks are the ultimate solution for improving communication during pandemic times while at same time slowing spread of pathogens. Here, we demonstrate an easily scalable process consisting directly electrospinning polyamide nanofibers onto a mechanical stable substrate made poly(lactic acid) by needleless setup production transparent filter material. Filtration tests against NaCl and fructose aerosols pressure drop were performed compared with European standard medical (EN 14683:2019) Swiss rule community (SNR 30000:2021). The showed outstanding transparency (?70% transmittance in visible-light range), 89% filtration efficiency PM1.0, 6.5 Pa/cm2.

Nanoscale polymeric fibers are expected to bring about exceptional mechanical and optical properties in composite materials related to the better integration of different properties between fibers and polymers. The discovery of the first aramid nanofiber dispersion from commercial para-aramid macrofibers similar to Kevlar developed by DuPont allowed the emergence of an innovative nanoscale buil...
متن کاملRoll-to-Roll Transfer of Electrospun Nanofiber Film for High-Efficiency Transparent Air Filter.
Particulate matter (PM) pollution in air has become a serious environmental issue calling for new type of filter technologies. Recently, we have demonstrated a highly efficient air filter by direct electrospinning of polymer fibers onto supporting mesh although its throughput is limited. Here, we demonstrate a high throughput method based on fast transfer of electrospun nanofiber film from roug...
متن کاملNanofiber Air Filters with High-Temperature Stability for Efficient PM2.5 Removal from the Pollution Sources.
Here, we developed high-efficiency (>99.5%) polyimide-nanofiber air filters for the high temperature PM2.5 removal. The polyimide nanofibers exhibited high thermal stability, and the PM2.5 removal efficiency was kept unchanged when temperature ranged from 25-370 °C. These filters had high air flux with very low pressure drop. They could continuously work for >120 h for PM2.5 index >300. A field...
متن کاملMedian-type filters with model-based preselection masks
To remove impulsive noise, several variants of median-type filters are presented. They use some prior information provided by the probabilistic composition model of the class of the image being processed. This information is doubly applied; first, in elaborating a noise-estimation mask for the preselection of the pixels which must be filtered; and second, in the filtering process itself. The ai...
متن کاملDoubly curved nanofiber-reinforced optically transparent composites
Doubly curved nanofiber-reinforced optically transparent composites with low thermal expansion of 15 ppm/k are prepared by hot pressing vacuum-filtered Pickering emulsions of hydrophobic acrylic resin monomer, hydrophilic chitin nanofibers and water. The coalescence of acrylic monomer droplets in the emulsion is prevented by the chitin nanofibers network. This transparent composite has 3D shape...
