Abstract:In this study, air filter base paper (P) was used as the receiving substrate, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and PVA/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) spinning solutions were used to prepare electrospun air filter papers (P-PVA and P-PVA/MWCNT, respectively). Then, P-PVA/MWCNT was calendered under different pressures. The effect of MWCNTs on the surface performance of P-PVA/MWCNT was explored and the influence of calendering technology on their structure and filtration characteristics was analyzed. Electron scanning microscope observation showed that the PVA nanofibers on the surface of P-PVA/MWCNT had no beading, and MWCNTs weakened the surface electrostatic phenomenon and had a good micromorphology. During the calendering process, with an increase in pressure, the mean pore size and surface roughness of P-PVA/MWCNT decreased, the initial resistance increased, and the filtration efficiency changed slightly.
