Abstract

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.
