Functionalized electrospun nanofibers for high efficiency removal of particulate matter.

In recent years, introducing electrospun airfilters to enhance the removal of PM and PM has received much interest. In this study, a novel poly-(vinyl) alcohol (PVA)/carbon nanoparticle (CNP)/tea leaf extract (TLE), functionalized nanofibrous air filter (FNA) was fabricated using an electrospinning method. Novelty of the unique work in the blending of CNP and TLE, first of its kind, for the preparation of FNA.
