Abstract

The invention discloses a nano-fiber material, wherein the nano-fiber material is formed by spinning an ionic polymer into a nano-fiber nonwoven, and the ionic polymer is represented by the formula: wherein: R 1 includes phenyl sulfonate or alkyl sulfonate; R 2 includes R 3 includes and m/n is between 1/50 and 50/1, q≧0.

Claims (23)

1. A nano-fiber material, wherein the nano-fiber material is formed by spinning an ionic polymer into a nano-fiber nonwoven, and the ionic polymer is represented by the formula:

wherein:
