“…Other researchers have used BTEAC as an antimicrobial agent for electrospun nanofibers. Kim et al [15] prepared antimicrobial PC nanofibers using BTEAC as an antimicrobial agent. Using antimicrobial tests, they reported that the BTEAC-PC nanofibers had good antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia.…”

“…Two types of polymers have been used for the synthesis of antimicrobial nanofibers. The first is related to solvent-soluble polymers such as polyamide [5,6], polyacrylonitrile [7][8][9][10][11], polyurethane [12], poly(methyl methacrylate) [13], poly(vinylidene) fluoride [14], polycarbonate [15,16], poly(vinyl phenol) [17], and cellulose acetate [18]. The second includes water-soluble polymers such as polyethylene oxide [19,20], poly(acrylic acid) [21,22], poly(vinylpyrrolidone) [14,23] and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) [24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Particularly, three-dimensional (3D) filtration modeling and particle capture theoretical predictions based on electrospun nanofiber structure and filtration performances are proposed. Additionally, researches have also made successful attempts for functional material-polymer composite filtration membranes [24][25][26]. Their functionalization can offer exceptional properties in composite filter media.…”

Fine particle pollution resulting from the rapid urbanization and industrialization is one of the most serious sources of air pollution. In response to the recognized threats of fine particles to the environment and human bodies, the pursuit of novel, high-performance, energy saving, and environmentally friendly filter medium has gained great interest in recent years. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes, as one of the utmost promising and versatile filter media for fine particle filtration, possess several fascinating features such as remarkable specific surface area, high open porosity, and interconnected porous structure. More significantly, electrospun nanofiber-based filter media are expected to have extremely high filtration efficiency for fine particle and relatively low pressure drop due to the unique structure of electrospun nanofibers. In this chapter, we summarize the recent progress in the development of electrospun nanofibrous membranes (e.g., organic, hybrid, inorganic) for fine particle filtration, describe the types of nanofibrous materials that have been developed, and discuss their structure variables and particle filtration performance in detail. This chapter may trigger the development of advanced nanofibrous filter media for fine particle emissions from anthropogenic polluted atmosphere.

“…The increased removal was contributed to by two factors: PA ENM had (1) a high surface area and (2) hydrophilicity that facilitated the interaction with aqueous bacteria, where functionalizing agents could then kill the bacteria during the intimate contact. Kim and co-workers investigated similar antimicrobial ability of electrospun filters, with an additive of quaternary ammonium salt (benzyl triethylammonium chloride, BTEAC) [83].…”

Liquids are essential for most of the lives and activities on earth, where liquid filtration is an important tool to remove undesired suspended solids, emulsified particles, dissolved molecules, and ions from liquids by separating the permeate from the unwanted impurities through filters. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes (ENMs) have been developed as filtration media having unique advantages over traditional membranes, due to high porosity, interconnected pore structures, large surface-to-volume ratio with capability for chemical/physical functionalization, and cost-effectiveness. The new fibrous membrane format has been used in many applications, including filtration, (membrane) distillation, and pervaporation.
