AB  - Human exposure to air pollution and especially to nanoparticles is increasing due 
      to the combustion of carbon-based energy vectors. Fibrous filters are among the 
      various types of equipment potentially able to remove particles from the air. 
      Nanofibers are highly effective in this area; however, their utilization is still 
      a challenge due to the lack of studies taking into account both nanoparticle 
      collection efficiency and antibacterial effect. The aim of this work is to 
      produce and evaluate novel silver/polyacrylonitrile (Ag/PAN) electrospun fibers 
      deposited on a nonwoven substrate to be used as air filters to remove 
      nanoparticles from the air and also showing antibacterial activity. In order to 
      determine the optimum manufacturing conditions, the effects of several 
      electrospinning process parameters were analyzed such as solution concentration, 
      collector to needle distance, flow rate, voltage, and duration. Ag/PAN nanofibers 
      were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy 
      (TEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy-dispersive X-ray 
      spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Scanning Electron 
      Microscopy (SEM). In addition, filtration performances were determined by 
      measuring the pressure drop and collection efficiency of sodium chloride (NaCl) 
      aerosol particles (9 to 300 nm diameters) using Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers 
      (SMPS). Filters with high filtration efficiency ( approximately 100%) and high-quality factor 
      ( approximately 0.05 Pa(-1)) were obtained even adding different concentrations of Ag 
      nanoparticles (AgNPs) to PAN nanofibers. The resultant Ag/PAN nanofibers showed 
      excellent antibacterial activity against 10(4) CFU/mL E. coli bacteria.
