Popis: With the continual rise in the levels of urban and industrial pollution, the demand for high-efficiency electrospun nanofibre filters has never been greater. Many of the most widely recognised filter manufacturers in the world have already taken a lead in incorporating electrospun nanofibre materials into their filters. Now, the next phase of growth in this market is in the development of functional filters that selectively capture targets of interest, such as VOCs, PM2.5 particles, heavy metal ions, dyes, viruses and many other contaminants. This chapter is a summary of the emerging technologies that can be used in conjunction with electrospun nanofibres for the high-performance filtration of fine particles.
