Transparent PAN:TiO₂ and PAN-co-PMA:TiO₂ Nanofiber Composite Membranes with High Efficiency in Particulate Matter Pollutants Filtration.

ABSTRACT: Particulate matter is one of the main pollutants, causing hazy days, and it has been serious concern for public health worldwide, particularly in China recently. Quality of outdoor atmosphere with a pollutant emission of PM2.5 is hard to be controlled; but the quality of indoor air could be achieved by using fibrous membrane-based air-filtering devices. Herein, we introduce nanofiber membranes for both indoor and outdoor air protection by electrospun synthesized polyacrylonitrile:TiO₂ and developed polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ composite nanofiber membranes. In this study, we design both polyacrylonitrile:TiO₂ and polyacrylonitrile-co-polyacrylate:TiO₂ nanofiber membranes with controlling the nanofiber diameter and membrane thickness and
