Abstract

Nanofiber is a broad phrase generally referring to a fiber with diameter less than 1 micron. Various polymers have been successfully electrospun into nanofibers in recent years. These nanofibers, due to their high surface area and porosity, have a great potential for use as filter medium, adsorption layers in protective clothing, etc. Nanofiber filters will enable new levels of filtration performance in the field of air filtration. In particular, nanofibers provide marked increases in filtration efficiency at relatively small pressure drop in permeability. Therefore, nanofiber filters could be substituted for conventional filter market due to the easy application of process and the possibility of coating to micron-sized non-woven sheets. This review is discussed on the trend of researche and development related to nanofiber filter including future marketability.

나노섬유란 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 섬유를 의미하며 멜트블로운(Melt blown), 복합방사, 분할방사, 전기방사 등의 방법으로 제조된다. 나노섬유는 초극세 섬유로서 섬유의 생성과 동시에 3차원의 네트워크로 융착되어 적층된 형태의 다공성 웹은 초박막, 초경량이며 기존 섬유에 비해 부피 대비 표면적비가 지극히 높고, 높은 기공도를 지니고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 가스나 액체로부터 미세입자를 분리하는 고효율 초기능성 필터 소재로 활용될 수 있으며, 나노섬유로 구성된 필터는 여과 효율이 높고 공극율이 매우 높아 필터에서 발생하는 압력강하가 적다. 또한 공정의 적용이 용이하여 기존의 부직포 등의 소재에 코팅이 가능하므로, 나노섬유 필터는 기존 부직포 필터 시장의 대부분을 대체할 것으로 기대되어 진다. 본 총설에서는 나노섬유 필터의 연구개발 동향과 공업적 제조기술의 문제점 및 향후 시장성에 대해서 고찰하였다.
