ONE-DIMENSIONAL NANOFIBERS: APPLICATION IN MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract
This habilitation thesis is prepared based on the author's contributions to the nanofiber membranes in water treatment. First, the author tried to determine the main problems why the nanofibers cannot use in water domain applications in the market, then tried to suggest solutions, solve and clarify each problem. The thesis provides a comprehensive description of the issue based on the current state of knowledge. The structure of the thesis is as follows: Chapter 1 is a general introduction that shows the main problems why the nanofibers cannot take place in liquid filtration. In Chapter 2, electrospinning process and parameters for the forming of the nanofiber web are introduced. We discuss the needle-free electsopinning system developed by the Technical University of Liberec (TUL). Chapter 3 focuses on membrane technology and nanofibers in membrane technology. Chapter 4 is represented the work of the author in cooperation with several authors from different institutions and countries in the field of nanofiber web formation, membrane preparation, application, and comment on their contribution to the scientific community. Chapter 5 is the conclusion of the work. In the Appendix part, the author includes scientific publications together with co-authors from the same or different institutions.
