TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of high flux ultrafiltration medium based on an electrospun nanofibrous scaffold (e.g., polyacrylonitrile, PAN) coupled with a thin top layer of hydrophilic, water-resistant, but water-permeable coating was demonstrated.

TL;DR: A novel high flux filtration medium, consisting of a three-tier composite structure, i.e., a nonporous hydrophilic nanocomposite coating top layer, an electrospun nanofibrous substrate midlayer, and a conventional nonwoven microfibrous support, was demonstrated for oil/water emulsion separations for the first time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new kind of high flux ultrafiltration (UF) membrane based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrospun nanofibrous scaffold support and PVA hydrogel coating has been demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-nano structure poly(ether sulfones)/poly(ethyleneimine) (PES/PEI) nanofibrous membrane was fabricated and utilized as an adsorbent for anionic dyes or heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in electrospinning for mass production of nanofiber membranes, especially suitable for water purification, is presented, where electrospun nanofibers not only can form highly porous membranes with controlled pore size, but also can be functionalized to enhance the separation performance.
