Filter media incorporating one or more filtration layers that include fibers including fiber portions orientated at a non-zero angle with respect to a surface of the filtration layer are provided. In some embodiments, at least a part of the fiber portions are positioned at an angle of at least 20 degrees (e.g., between 46 degrees and 90 degrees, or between 61 degrees and 90 degrees) with respect to a surface of the filtration layer or an outer or cover layer of the media. This orientation of fiber portions may result in an increased efficiency (e.g., average efficiency and/or initial efficiency) compared to similar filter media that do not include such oriented fiber portions.

There is provided a nanofibrous filter comprising a substrate and self-assembled nanofibers deposited on the substrate. The self-assembled nanofibers comprise -conjugated molecules self-assembled by non-covalent interactions, wherein the -conjugated molecules are phthalocyanine derivative molecules or diketopyrrolopyrrole derivative molecules. There is also provided a method of preparing the nanofibrous filter.

Disclosed are improved polymer materials. Also disclosed are fine fiber materials that can be made from the improved polymeric materials in the form of microfiber and nanofiber structures. The microfiber and nanofiber structures can be used in a variety of useful applications including the formation of filter materials.

A fluid filtration system is shown. The fluid filtration system utilizes a one-piece or multiple piece containers having a plurality of radiation-transmissible media adapted to receive light, such as ultraviolet light, white light or other wavelength light. The radiation-transmissible media are situated in the container and at least one or a plurality of radiation sources, such as ultraviolet lamps, are situated in an array in proximity to the radiation-transmissible media. The radiation-transmissible media interrupts the flow and velocity of the fluid stream passing through the container to extend the duration of radiation for any contaminants and also provide enlarged surface areas for the contaminants to be received and ultimately exposed to the radiation. In one example, the radiation-transmissible media may be tubular or spherical sections that are hollow or solid and made of quartz.

An air filter material has spun bond nonwoven fabric and melt blown nonwoven fabric. The spun bond nonwoven fabric includes conjugate polyester continuous filaments having a Y4-like cross sectional shape. The Y-4 shape of the continuous filament is composed of plural nearly V-shape portions formed from low melting point polyester, joined by a nearly + shape portion formed from high melting point polyester. The continuous filaments are heat-bonded with each other by the low melting point polyester. The spun bond nonwoven fabric is bonded with the melt blown nonwoven fabric with a powder type or spider web type hot melt adhesive agent.

A fabric material composite construction, for use as a filter means or media, characterized in that said construction comprises a combination of one or more nanofiber layers and a synthetic single-thread squarely knitted precision fabric.

A media pack includes a filtration sheet and a support sheet engaged with the filtration sheet. The support sheet includes a first perforated sheet and a first media sheet, the first perforated sheet and the first media sheet being corrugated. The filtration sheet and the support sheet are wound together in a substantially spiral shape. The filtration sheet and the support sheet together form a plurality of channels that are alternatively sealed on opposing ends of the media pack.

An electrostatic adsorption mask is provided. The mask comprises two straps, a mask body, a filtering layer and a tiny power. The filtering layer is located in the mask body and comprises a first carbon nanotube layer, a second carbon nanotube layer and an insulated porous layer. The insulated porous layer is located between the first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer. The first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer are electrically coupled with the tiny power. An electric field is existed between the first carbon nanotube layer and the second carbon nanotube layer.

Provided are an air permeable vent filter, and a headlight assembly comprising the same. The air permeable vent filter has a body in which a nanofiber web, which comprises a plurality of pores and is formed by accumulating a nanofiber electrospun from a spinning solution in which a polymer material and a solvent are mixed, is spirally wound, and the air permeable vent filter implements an air permeable filter function of allowing air to pass through from one lateral side of the body to the other lateral side and blocking liquids and solids.
