Abstract |
|
Filtration is an effective separation process and textile materials are being used since ages as the media for this separation. Conventional textile filter media consist of natural as well as man-made fibres with fibre diameters usually in the range 1– 50 µm. Fibres with finer fibre diameter are supposed to provide higher surface are finer degree of filtration i.e. better filter efficiency. From this consideration, filter media made of nano-fibre enable new levels of filtration performance for several applications ranging from industrial, medical and consumer as well as filtration processes required in defence application. Nano fibres are defined as fibres having diameter of 500nm or less and are readily accessible by the electrospinning process |
