Preparation of Blended Nanocomposite Nanofiber Materials for Air Purification

摘要

In this study, two types of nanofibers, blended nanofibers of Polyamide 6/Chitosan and blended nanofibers of Polyamide 6/Chitosan/Nano-silver particles, were prepared in order to develop air filters suitable for use in medical applications such as hospital care, smoke lounges, and general surgery applications. UV-absorption spectrophotometer, Atomic Force Microscopy, Porosity SEM, and Wettability tests were used to characterise the material properties, solutions, and membranes. The results showed that the porosity ranged from 39.263% to 49.33%, with most membranes showing hydrophobic behaviours. The average pore size ranged from 112.36 nm to 92.36 run, allowing the air filters in this research to remove all bacteria, most tobacco smoke, droplet nuclei and most general smoke.
