Abstract

Disclosed herein is a porous sheet, including a fine fiber web, wherein the fine fiber web is formed by bonding fine fibers with each other using an adhesive material.

Claims (28)

1 . A porous sheet, comprising a fine fiber web, wherein the fine fiber web is formed by bonding fine fibers with each other using an adhesive material.

2 . The porous sheet according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fine fibers has a diameter of 50˜5000 nm.

3 . The porous sheet according to claim 1 , wherein intersections of the fine fibers are bonded with each other by the adhesive material.

4 . The porous sheet according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fine fibers is prepared in the form of a mixture of a polymer and the adhesive material.

5 . The porous sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidine fluoride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyetherimide, polyethylene oxide, polylactic acid, cellulose, aromatic polyester, polyphosphazene, polyurethane, polyurethane-containing copolymers, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyvinylidene fluoride, perfluoropolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethyleneglycol derivatives, polyoxide, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, and polymethylmethacrylate.

6 . The porous sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive material is an acrylate-based material.

7 . The porous sheet according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fine fibers is formed by attaching the adhesive material to a surface of the fine fiber made of the polymer.

8 . A method of manufacturing a porous sheet, comprising:

mixing a polymer solution containing a polymer with an adhesive solution containing an adhesive material to prepare a spinning solution;

electrospinning the spinning solution to form fine fibers, in each of which the polymer is to mixed with the adhesive material; and

curing the fine fibers to form a fine fiber web in which the fine fibers are bonded with each other by the adhesive material.

9 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , wherein an amount of the polymer solution in the spinning solution is 85˜97.5 wt %, and an amount of the adhesive solution in the spinning solution is 2.5˜15 wt %.

10 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 9 , wherein a diameter of the fine fiber increases as the amount of the adhesive solution in the spinning solution increases.

11 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , wherein an amount of the adhesive material in the adhesive solution is 30˜50 wt %.

12 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , wherein the polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidine fluoride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyetherimide, polyethylene oxide, polylactic acid, cellulose, aromatic polyester, polyphosphazene, polyurethane, polyurethane-containing copolymers, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyvinylidene fluoride, perfluoropolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethyleneglycol derivatives, polyoxide, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, and polymethylmethacrylate.

13 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , wherein the adhesive material is an acrylate-based material.

14 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , further comprising: performing a calendaring process for pressing the fine fiber web, after the forming of the fine fiber web.

15 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 8 , the curing of the fine fibers is performed by natural curing, thermal curing or ultraviolet (UV) curing.

16 . A method of manufacturing a porous sheet, comprising:

preparing a spinning solution containing a polymer;

electrospinning the spinning solution to form fine fibers, each of which is made of the polymer;

spraying an adhesive solution containing an adhesive material onto the fine fibers to form fine fibers attached with the adhesive material; and

curing the fine fibers attached with the adhesive material to form a fine fiber web in which the fine fibers are bonded with each other by the adhesive material.

17 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 16 , wherein an amount of the adhesive material in the adhesive solution is 30˜50 wt %.

18 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 16 , wherein the polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidine fluoride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyetherimide, polyethylene oxide, polylactic acid, cellulose, aromatic polyester, polyphosphazene, polyurethane, polyurethane-containing copolymers, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyvinylidene fluoride, perfluoropolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethyleneglycol derivatives, polyoxide, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, and polymethylmethacrylate.

19 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 16 , wherein the adhesive material is an acrylate-based material.

20 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 16 , further comprising: performing a calendaring process for pressing the fine fiber web, after the forming of the fine fiber web.

21 . The method of manufacturing a porous sheet according to claim 16 , the curing of the fine fibers is performed by natural curing, thermal curing or ultraviolet (UV) curing.
