Nonwoven Microfilters Produced by a Novel Melt Coextrusion Process

چکیده
Fibrous filters were fabricated using a novel melt co-extrusion and two-dimensional multiplication technology combined with a high pressure water jet delamination technique. The filters made from polypropylene (PP) / polyamide 6 (PA6) system exhibited micro to nano scale fibers having uniform fiber distribution and superior mechanical properties. Effects of film draw ratio upon co-extrusion on the final filter characteristics were investigated. It was found that increasing the film draw ratio significantly improves the filter’s surface area and porosity, and decreases the mean pore size. This melt-based, versatile technology is applicable to any melt-processable polymers to produce fibrous filters having tunable properties for various filtration applications.

متن کاملAging Cell-size Dependent Lipofuscin Accumulation Anaysis Using a Novel Microfluidic Microfilter with Uniform Fluidic Profile
Throughput enhancement is an important issue for processing large volume of sample, especially for microfilters. As a simple and straightforward method, expansion of channel width can handle larger volume without flow velocity increase. The non-uniform velocity distribution by parabolic profile, however, causes different fluidic force to captured cells in microfilters depending on the position ...
