The invention relates to a filter material comprising a carrier material that is impregnated on one side with a thermally pre-crosslinked binder system (VB) and on the other side with a thermally crosslinkable but un-crosslinked binder system (UB). The filter material is characterised by improved deformability and a very good level of heat sealability, particularly using ultrasound, and a low pressure differential particularly when filtering high-viscosity liquids.

There are provide a cell separation filter with which cells can be separated without damage and can suppress adsorption, a filtering device, and a manufacturing method for a cell separation filter. The cell separation filter is composed of a nonwoven fabric that is formed of fibers containing a water-insoluble polymer and a hydrophilizing agent and has a fiber density difference in the film thickness direction. The nonwoven fabric has an average through-hole diameter of 2.0 μm or more and less than 10.0 μm, a void ratio of 75% or more and 98% or less, a film thickness of 100 μm or more, and a critical wet surface tension of 72 mN/m or more.

Internally reinforced aerogels, articles of manufacture and uses thereof are described. An internally reinforced aerogel includes an aerogel having a support at least partially penetrating the aerogel and having the aerogel penetrating the porous structure of the support.

The present technology provides a disinfectant textile composition having antimicrobial, wash durable, optionally enhanced with multifunctional properties. The technology also provides a method of treating a textile substrate. The method comprises applying a disinfecting treating composition using one or more of an exhaust, padding, coating or spraying process. The treating composition comprises an antifungal agent and further comprises a cross-linking agent. The method also comprises drying the textile substrate using a heat setting process.

A filter material composing a ceramic clay having an interconnected network of pores formed from cellulose fiber combustion is useful for removing chemical and biological contaminants from a water supply. Coating the ceramic clay with lanthanum enhances the removal of anionic species of As(V), As(III), Cr(VI), microbes and virus.

A core-sheath type composite multifilament for a palatable beverage extracting filter, including a core component and a sheath component, the core component being a homopolyester having a melting point of 220° C. or more, the sheath component being a copolyester containing terephthalic acid and a diol as major components and having a melting point at least 40° C. lower than that of the core component, and a number of filaments is 2 to 5.

A gradient density filter element, and associated method, and an associated apparatus are provided. The gradient density filter element includes a gradient density filter media formed via compression during winding of a layer of filter media into a cylindrical roll.

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) assembly configured to be incorporated in the exhaust gas stream, the DPF assembly comprising: Quartz/Composite ceramic mixture disposed as filter elements, mechanical support components and optional electrical soot removal solutions including electrical, di-electrical and microwave solutions.

An EM filter for an EGR cooler includes a gasket and a mesh filter including a horizontal wire and a vertical wire that are metal wires, wherein the horizontal wire and the vertical wire form a twill weave structure, and wherein a wire diameter of the horizontal wire with respect to a wire diameter of the vertical wire is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.3.

The subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to microdenier fabrics comprising fibrillated bicomponent fibers. The bicomponent fibers can be fibrillated mechanically by hydroentangling, where the hydroentangling energy is sufficient for fibrillating as well as entangling or bonding the fibers. The bicomponent fibers can have an island-in-the-sea configuration. The micro-denier fabrics can be woven, knitted, or nonwoven. A nonwoven fabric made from the bicomponent fibers can be formed by either spunbonding or through the use of bicomponent staple fibers formed into a web by any one of several means and bonded similarly to those used for the spunbonded filament webs.
