Abstract
R&D of Nanofiber membrane has been carried out in the various fields, gas, water treatment, energy, and etc, with the continuous growth of membrane technology. There are several preparation methods for nanofiber, i.e. drawing, template synthesis, phase separation, self-assembly, and electrospinning. However, an electrospinning has many advantages such as high productivity, low production cost, easy to select law material, high relative surface area, and easy to functionalize. Nanofiber has been used in the field of membrane technologies such as secondary battery and water treatment fields. For the secondary battery separator, the separators having a high power and high thermal stability can be developed with spread of nanofiber on the commercial PP or PE/PP separators. High functional membranes can be also developed by adding the functional additives like antibacterial materials in the nanofiber membrane. It can be expected the high value added with nanofiber membrane because of its diverse applications from the water treatment to the energy field and because of its various functional advantages.
