Introduction to melt-blown/ nano fiber/ carbon fiber technologies

Melt-blown technology

The melt-blown technology is based on melt-blowing process, where, usually, a thermoplastic fiber forming polymer is extruded through a linear die containing several hundred small orifices. Convergent streams of hot air rapidly attenuate the extruded polymer streams to form extremely fine diameter fibers. The attenuated fibers are subsequently blown by high-velocity air onto a collector conveyor, thus forming a fine fibered self-bonded melt-blown nonwoven fabric.

Application areas of melt-blown technology

- Artificial fiber/ natural fiber/ bio-fiber
- Medical materials (DDS, Scafold, Wound dressing)
- Universal filter
- Functional bio composite materials

Purposes of melt-blown research system

- Evaluation of flowability and processability for polymer solution
- Design of molecular structures
- Development of fiber, membrane, film, etc.
