Abstract

The keratin was extracted from the wool by sodium sulfite dissolving system. And then different ratios of keratin/polyethylene oxide (PEO) formic acid solution were prepared. The rheological properties and conductivity of solution were studied. The influence of the proportion of keratin/PEO formic acid solution on the nanofibers' morphology was investigated. Finally, the nanofiber membences were composited on polypropylene nonwovens, the influence of spinning time on the air filtration was discussed.
