Article Synopsis
- Aerosol contamination is a significant issue across various sectors, and the study focuses on using 3D-printed open foam-like lattice structures as an efficient solution for filtration.
- The researchers created and tested four different lattice geometries (Cubic, Kelvin, Octahedron, and Weaire-Phelan) to determine their effectiveness in capturing aerosol particles, finding that filtration performance improves with the specific surface area of the filter design.
- The study also identified mechanisms of particle deposition and established that 3D-printed lattices can achieve high filtration efficiencies (10-100%) under varying airflow conditions, indicating their potential as customizable and effective aerosol filters while addressing existing production challenges.
