Provided is a flexible electromagnetic wave shielding material. An electromagnetic wave shielding material according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented to include a conductive fiber web including a conductive composite fiber including a metal shell part covering an outside of a fiber part such that the conductive composite fiber forms multiple pores; and a first conductive component provided in at least some of the pores. The electromagnetic wave shielding material is so excellent in flexibility, elasticity, and creasing/recovery that the electromagnetic wave shielding material may be freely changed in shape, and can be brought in complete contact with a surface where the electromagnetic wave shielding material is intended to be disposed even if the surface has a curved shape such as an uneven portion or a stepped portion, thus exhibiting excellent electromagnetic wave shielding performance. Also, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the electromagnetic wave shielding performance even with various shape changes. Furthermore, even if parts are provided in a narrow area at a high density, the electromagnetic wave shielding material can be brought into complete contact with the mounted parts by overcoming a tight space between the parts and a stepped portion. Thus, the present invention can be easily employed for a light, thin, short, and small or flexible electronic device.

A filter medium is provided. A filter medium according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a fiber web layer of a three-dimensional network structure including nanofiber; and a hydrophilic coating layer which covers at least a part of the outer surface of the nanofiber. According to this, a flow rate can be remarkably increased due to the improved hydrophilicity of the filter medium. Also, as the improved hydrophilicity is maintained for a long period of time, the lifespan can be remarkably prolonged. Furthermore, since the modification of a porous structure of the filter medium is minimized during the process of hydrophilization so that the initially designed physical properties of the filter medium can be exhibited in its entirety, the filter medium having chemical resistance, excellent water permeability and durability can be variously applied in the water treatment field.

A water filtration membrane is provided, capable of removing heavy metal ions, filtering out particulates, filtering out bacteria, as well as removing herbicides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water. The membrane is composed of a mat of randomly oriented nanoparticle-coated nanofibers. The nanofibers are covalently bonded to a plurality of substantially uniformly-distributed ceramic nanoparticles embedded in or adhered on the surface of the polymer nanofibers through reactive functional groups. The ceramic nanoparticles have a pattern of deep grooves formed on the nanoparticle surfaces. The bonding of the nanoparticles to the nanofibers is sufficient to retain the nanoparticles on the nanofiber surfaces when water flows through the water filtration membrane. The diameter of the nanofibers is 50-200 nm. The size of the nanoparticles is <40 nm, with a zeta potential of 40 to 45 mV in a dispersion medium. The nanoparticle deep grooves have an average size of approximately 1.2 nm or less.

Electret webs include a thermoplastic resin and a charge-enhancing additive. The charge-enhancing additive is a substituted benzotriazole phenolate salt or a combination of substituted benzotriazole phenolate salts. The electret webs may be a non-woven fibrous web or a film. The electret webs are suitable for use as filter media.
