Problems solved by technology

However, how to reflect the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes at the nanoscale at the macroscale is still a challenge
The technical challenge is to keep carbon nanotubes with sufficient mechanical strength on a macroscopic scale to meet the requirements for use in air filtration; on the other hand, the macroscopic body composed of carbon nanotubes also needs to have sufficient porosity to avoid too high filter resistance
[0005] At present, the commonly used technical means for applying carbon nanotubes to the field of air filtration is to obtain carbon nanotube films by solution filtration or gas phase growth. However, the carbon nanofilms obtained by this method often have low mechanical strength; and due to the The arrangement of the nanotubes is too close, resulting in a very large resistance to the carbon nanotube film
Therefore, the carbon nanotube membrane obtained by this method is not conducive to the use in air filtration.
In addition, there are some methods of growing carbon nanotubes on the surface of porous materials, but these methods do not combine the characteristics of air filtration to design the filter material structure, and the prepared materials often have the disadvantages of low filtration efficiency and low dust holding capacity
