Abstract:
A fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes smokeless tobacco and a plurality of polymeric fibers surrounding the smokeless tobacco. The polymeric fibers can have a basis weight of 5 gsm or less and a diameter of less than 100 microns. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are melt-blown polymeric fibers. In some cases, the polymeric fibers are centrifugal force spun polymeric fibers. A method of preparing a fiber-wrapped smokeless tobacco product includes melt-blowing or centrifugal force spinning a plurality of polymeric fibers to create an polymer deposition zone and passing a body comprising smokeless tobacco through the polymer deposition zone. In some cases, an electrostatic charge can be applied to the plurality of polymeric fibers, the body, or a combination thereof. In some cases, a spin is applied to the body when passing through the polymer deposition zone.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for fabricating a membrane, the method comprising the following steps: a) providing at least a first porous carrier substrate, b) providing at least a first layer of nanofibers on one side of the first porous carrier substrate, c) providing at least one adhesive after step (b), by electro-spinning or centrifugal-spinning to form a structure, wherein the adhesive has a softening temperature lower than the softening temperature and the degradation temperature of the first porous carrier substrate and the first layer of nanofibers, d) consolidating the structure obtained in step (c) by means of a temperature cycle or a pressure cycle thereby obtaining the membrane. The invention further relates to a membrane and a filter comprising the membrane.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to methods of manufacture of a filtration media, such as a personal protection equipment mask or respirator, which may incorporate an electrospinning process to form nanofibers. Some embodiments may comprise electrospinning material onto a convex mold, which may, for example, be in the shape of a human face. Other embodiments may comprise electrospinning material onto an inner and/or outer shell of a personal protective equipment mask, such as a flat fold mask. In an embodiment, the electrospun nanofibers may be functionalized, and therefore may, for example, be operable to capture one or more gases.
Abstract:
A composite liquid filtration platform including a composite filtration medium featuring an electrospun polymeric nanofiber layer collected on a porous membrane. When in use, the porous membrane acts as a prefilter used upstream from the polymeric nanofiber layer to remove particles from a liquid stream flowing through the composite filtration structure. The nanofiber layer, positioned downstream from the porous membrane, is used as the retentive layer for critical filtration to provide biosafety assurance, and is responsible for capturing microorganisms like bacteria, mycoplasma or viruses. The composite liquid filtration platform provided herein exhibits permeability advantages over conventional porous membranes or nanofiber mats spun on coarse non-wovens.
