The present disclosure provides a preparation method of carbon black synthetic filter materials and an application thereof, which are prepared by impregnating nonwoven fabric filter fibers in a mixed solution consisting of carbon black, animal glue, glycerin, urea, cupric complex of amino acid, Turkey red oil, methylsilicone oil and deionized water, the nonwoven fabric filter fibers are coated with carbon black; wherein, the mixed solution is composed of the following weight parts of raw materials: 2˜4 parts of carbon black, 1˜3 parts of animal glue, 1˜3 parts of glycerin, 0.2˜0.4 parts of urea, 0.03˜0.06 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.05˜0.15 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.05˜0.15 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water. The present disclosure can improve the elimination of contaminants effectively and utilizing the installation space for the current filters efficiently, with strong practical significance and promotion value.

Methods of treating fibers comprising a polymer including at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety, and resulting fibers or the products comprising the resulting fibers are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a fiber having a surface region and an interior region, includes a polymer comprising at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety chemically modified with a modification agent. The fiber has a transverse cross-section including the interior region comprising the polymer having a first degree of modification and the surface region comprising the polymer having a second degree of modification greater than the first degree of modification.

Methods of treating fibers comprising a polymer including at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety, and resulting fibers or the products comprising the resulting fibers are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a method of treating fibers includes contacting a surface of a fiber comprising the polymer with a modification agent to chemically modify at least a portion of the polymer with the modification agent in a region of the fiber comprising at least the surface of the fiber to form a modified fiber.
