Figure 1: Morphology, filtration performance, and mechanical property of PMIA scaffold nanofiber filters.

FE-SEM images of PMIA membranes obtained from solutions with PMIA concentration of (a) 10, (b) 12, (c) 14, and (d) 16 wt% at RH of 40%. (e) Filtration efficiency and pressure drop, (f) quality factor, and (g) stress-strain curves of PMIA nanofiber membranes formed from solutions with different PMIA concentrations at RH of 40%. The filtration performance in (e) and (f) is tested using PMIA membrane with basis weight of ~0.125 g m−2.
