Topic description

Context

Fire incidents and many industrial environments expose workers to toxic gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), solvents, and hazardous fumes. Protecting against these contaminants is a major health and safety challenge. Current filtration materials are often heavy, poorly selective, and exhibit limited breathability, which reduces both their effectiveness and user comfort.

In this context, developing next-generation filtration membranes is essential. Nanofibrous membranes produced by electrospinning or blow spinning offer a significant advantage: their fibrous structure provides an extremely high specific surface area and controlled porosity, enabling more efficient capture of toxic compounds while maintaining excellent air permeability.

At the same time, next-generation adsorbent materials—particularly Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs)—have seen remarkable development in recent years. Thanks to th...
