Abstract

Disclosed is a particulate matter (PM) capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film. More specifically, disclosed is a PM particle capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film in which a spreading phenomenon in which a liquid material spreads outside the filter is suppressed. Disclosed is a filter device for capturing and collecting PM particles, in which a liquid film having interface energy control and capillary force induction is used for effective PM particle capturing and collecting, and a surrounding portion is formed for preventing spreading of a liquid material on a substrate.

Claims (31)

1. A particulate matter (PM) capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film, the device comprising:

a substrate;

a surface modifying layer formed on the substrate;

a liquid layer coated on the substrate through the surface modifying layer to form the target-coated liquid film; and

a surrounding portion coated on the substrate to surround the liquid layer.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a porous substrate.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the surface modifying layer is made of a material having a surface energy of 40 mN/m or lower.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the liquid layer is made of a hydrophobic liquid material.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the liquid material has a surface energy of 40 mN/m or lower.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein a difference between a surface energy of the liquid layer and a surface energy of the surface modifying layer is 10 mN/m or lower.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein a difference between a surface energy of the liquid layer and a surface energy of the surface modifying layer is 5 mN/m or lower.

8. The device of claim 4 , wherein the surrounding portion is configured to prevent a spreading of the liquid material in the liquid layer across the substrate.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the surrounding portion is made of a material having a surface energy lower than a surface energy of the liquid layer.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the surrounding portion is made of a material having a surface energy of 20 mN/m or lower.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises a holder disposed to surround at least a portion of an outer periphery of the liquid layer.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the holder or a coating thereon is made of a material having a surface energy lower than a surface energy of the liquid layer.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the holder or the coating thereon is made of a material having a surface energy of 20 mN/m or lower.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the holder has a tongs shape that contacts a bottom surface of the substrate and a top surface of the liquid film to support a combination of the substrate and the liquid layer coated on the substrate through the surface modifying layer.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a porous substrate having a fabric, a mesh, a non-woven fabric, or a metal mesh structure.

16. A particulate matter (PM) capturing and collecting filter device having a target-coated liquid film, the device comprising:

a substrate;

a surface modifying layer formed on the substrate; and

a liquid layer coated on the substrate through the surface modifying layer to form the target-coated liquid film,

wherein the substrate is a porous substrate having a fabric, a mesh, a non-woven fabric, or a metal mesh structure, and

wherein the device includes a stack of combinations, each combination being composed of a respective substrate and a respective liquid layer coated on the respective substrate through a respective surface modifying layer.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein each combination further includes a surrounding portion coated on the respective substrate and surrounding the respective liquid layer.

18. A method for manufacturing a particulate matter (PM) capturing and collecting filter device with a target-coated liquid film, the method comprising:

providing a substrate;

forming a surface modifying layer on the substrate;

forming the target-coated liquid film by coating a liquid layer on the substrate through the surface modifying layer such that the surface modifying layer is impregnated with the liquid layer; and

coating a surrounding portion on the substrate to surround the liquid layer.
