Abstract
A novel high-performance polyamide 6, polyacrylonitrile and
polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers were fabricated using industrial
production Nanospider equipment for liquid filtration as microfilters. The
application of nanofibers has been hindered by their poor mechanical
strength. This work developed a feasible approach to preparing
mechanically strong nanofiber webs. The mechanical strength of the
nanofibers was enhanced using special lamination technique on
a supporting layer. Experimental results show that the mechanical strength
of the nanofibers enhanced more than 5 times while high porosity and
liquid permeability retain. The separation results indicate that nanofibers
have a potential to be used in liquid filters.
