Abstract
Filter media comprising nanofibers and related components, systems, and methods associated therewith are provided. In some embodiments, a filter media may comprise a first fiber web and a second fiber web designed to impart beneficial properties to the filter media. For instance, in some embodiments, the first fiber web may provide high particulate efficiency and the second fiber web may provide suitable capacity. In some embodiments, the first and second fiber webs may have certain properties (e.g., water contact angle, surface energy) that are similar or substantially the same. The similarities between the first and second fiber webs may serve to enhance the structural stability of the filter media under various conditions (e.g., high temperature, high pressure, steam sterilization) and/or permeability to certain fluids (e.g., water). Filter media, as described herein, may be particularly well-suited for applications that involve liquid filtration.
