3. Use

In general, nanofibers offer numerous advantages, such as high specific surface area, high porosity and high adsorption capacity. As a result, nanofibers can be used in a wide range of applications, including filtration materials, tissue engineering, dressings and sensors.

3.1 Filtration

Thanks to their randomly entangled fibers, high surface-to-volume ratio and high porosity, nanofiber fibrous media are ideal for gas and liquid filtration applications.

Nanofibers are widely used in many filtration devices, such as automotive filters, respirators and air purifiers. For these applications, the polymers generally used are polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyamide (PA) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). To optimize their properties (mechanical strength,...
