Abstract
Nylon-6 fibers with average diameters below 500 nm were electrospun onto conventional air filter media at varying weight coverage levels using a multi-nozzle bank. The initial filtration efficiency of the air filter media was improved significantly with increasing coverage level and decreasing size of nylon-6 fibers. Nylon-6 fibers were very durable on the air filter media at the coverage level of 0.1 g/m2 due to the good adhesion with the air filter fibers. The production efficiency of the coated air filter media could be increased by using more nozzle banks for electrospinning without affecting the initial filtration efficiency of the air filter media significantly.Keywords
