Singapore team develops nanofiber-based NW mesh filter medium that out-performs traditional materials [From the web]




SINGAPORE, March 22, 2017-

A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully concocted a novel nanofiber solution that creates thin, see-through air filters that can remove up to 90 percent of PM2.5 particles and achieve high air flow of 2.5 times better than conventional air filters. As an added bonus, this eco-friendly air filter improves natural lighting and visibility while blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Overall, air filters developed using the novel nanofiber solution are two times better in quality than commercial ones, and are suitable for applications on windows and doors to improve indoor air quality. This novel air filter also has promising applications in respirators.
