All rights reserved.The production and characterization of air filter membranes from HIPS waste are presented. The HIPS membranes were synthesized using needleless electrospinning. The HIPS precursor solutions were made by dissolving the HIPS waste in the d-limonene:DMF solvent mixing ratio of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3. The different mixing ratio led to different viscosity, surface tension, and fiber morphology. Beaded to fine fiber morphology were obtained by increasing the DMF concentration in the mixing solvent. The filtration test using PM2.5 as test particles demonstrated the good performance of the HIPS membrane as an air filter media (filtration efficiency up to 98.75%).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Air filter,Fiber membrane,Hips waste,Nanofiber,Needleless electrospinning[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was financially supported by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, the Republic of Indonesia under the University?s Excellence Research (PUPT) Grant and the PMDSU scholarship of A.
