Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable solutions to address environmental and energy challenges has driven the development of advanced materials. Among them, nanofibrous membranes have emerged due to their high surface area, tunable porosity and versatile mechanical properties. However, traditional nanofibrous membranes, made from petroleum-based synthetic polymers, pose significant environmental concerns due to their non-biodegradability and reliance on fossil resources. This paper reviews recent advancements in the development of sustainable nanofibrous membranes, focusing on the use of biobased and biodegradable materials, and circular design approaches aimed at reducing environmental impact throughout the membrane life cycle. Challenges associated with improving the mechanical strength and stability of biopolymer-based nanofibers and expanding application areas are discussed. By highlighting strategies to overcome these limitations, this review aims to provide insights into the future direction of sustainable nanofibrous membranes, paving the way for their broader adoption in eco-friendly technological solutions.

用于空气过滤、水净化和除油的可持续纳米纤维膜。

对可持续解决方案的需求不断增长，以应对环境和能源挑战，推动了先进材料的发展。其中，纳米纤维膜以其高表面积、可调孔隙率和多用途的力学性能而备受关注。然而，传统的纳米纤维膜是由石油基合成聚合物制成的，由于其不可生物降解性和对化石资源的依赖，造成了严重的环境问题。本文综述了可持续纳米纤维膜的最新进展，重点介绍了生物基材料和可生物降解材料的使用，以及旨在减少整个膜生命周期对环境影响的循环设计方法。讨论了提高生物聚合物基纳米纤维的机械强度和稳定性以及扩大其应用领域所面临的挑战。通过强调克服这些限制的策略，本综述旨在为可持续纳米纤维膜的未来方向提供见解，为其在环保技术解决方案中的广泛采用铺平道路。
