Nanofibres can turn a home air conditioning unit into an air purifier
How are they better then conventional filters?
Allergies to pollen, dust mites, and microbes are becoming increasingly common among humans. The worsening situation, therefore, calls for more reliable and efficient filters for home air conditioning units not only because of allergies, but also because of viral diseases (e.g. COVID‑19). For this reason, air nanofiltration has been the number one research topic in recent years.
The bustling development of human activities has led to the swirling of fine air particles, with particles ≤ 2.5 μm in diameter already causing air pollution raising concerns for the health of the human population. However, a much bigger problem is caused by so‑called nanoparticles, which are typically hundreds of nanometres in diameter. The coronavirus, for example, is of a similar size. Filtering out such a tiny particle requires a completely new approach.
