Wuhan Or The Production Of PM2.5 Ultimate Mask

Yesterday, the eighty-ninth World Textile Conference opened in Han Dynasty, and nanofibers became a hot topic for experts.

Wang Xun, chairman of the World Textile Conference and Dean of textile School of Wuhan Textile University, is in this field.

One of the experts.

He revealed that the yarn made by his laboratory can now be thinner than 100 nm, and the fineness is only half that of the existing nanofibers in the world.

It is understood that

The diameter of the yarn is smaller than that of bacteria and viruses. If we can achieve mass production, we will be able to withstand the overwhelming majority of bacteria and virus protection products, and deal with PM2.5.

Wang Xun introduced that nanofibers can be used to make

It includes filter materials such as respirators, energy materials like membrane separators and medical materials.

Compared with ordinary textile materials, high performance materials consume less raw materials and achieve better results.

For example, masks made of nanofibers, because the yarns have been thinner to the nanometer level, and bacteria and viruses are mainly microns, so they can withstand most of the bacteria and viruses, which are much better than the existing masks.

"Like PM2.5, fine masks made of nanofibers can resist 100%.

Of course, if we are to resist Ebola virus, we need more layers of protection, and we need to solve problems such as respiratory obstruction. "

According to Wang Xun, although nanofibers have mature samples in the laboratory in recent years, they have not been able to mass produce, which is exactly what the global textile industry is trying to solve.

There are two main reasons: first, mass production is technically difficult, and the two is high production cost.

At present, Wuhan Textile University is working with relevant enterprises in Jiangsu, and has already been in the forefront of domestic industrialization in the field of nanofiber technology.

It is estimated that the mass production of nanofiber materials will be achieved in the next 3 years and will go to the market.

Win the right to host the World Textile Conference

Yesterday, the eighty-ninth World Textile Conference was held in Han Dynasty.

This is the top international academic conference held in China after 10 years and second years after Shanghai.

Reporters learned that, at the last minute, Wuhan Textile University moved the overwhelming majority of judges with innovative technology, and finally won the right to host.

The world textile Congress is the oldest international academic conference in the textile industry. It is known as the "textile industry Olympics" and is organized by the Royal Textile Association. Its headquarters is located in the UK, Manchester, the birthplace of the world textile industry.

The world textile conference is sponsored by different countries or regions.

Since the beginning of last year, Wuhan Textile University has made preparations for the declaration. Facing the competitors of the United States and Poland, winning the bid is no less difficult than bidding for the Olympic Games.

In the fierce competition, the school submitted the declaration program entitled "frontier textile materials innovation", which fits the current development objective of the general assembly and touched most of the judges. Finally, it won the right to host in 2014.

Yesterday, more than 300 experts from textile academia and representatives from industrial circles gathered in Wuhan from more than 20 countries and regions in the United States, Britain, Germany and New Zealand for a 4 day exchange and discussion.
