Applied Rheology for Characterization of Polymeric Nanofiber Based Filters

Anotace

In the first part of this work, the current stage of knowledge in areas of nanofiber nonwoven production, applications, characterization with specific attention to air filtration modeling, creation of 3D filter models, importance of Brownian diffusion and aerodynamic slip has been reviewed based on the open research literature. In the second part of this work, polymeric nanofiber based filters created by electrospinning process utilizing wire based rotation electrode have been investigated by using newly developed experimental and theoretical methods in order to understand the complicated link between filter morphology and mechanical properties.
