Meltblown technology has recently gained a lot of attention in the production of submicrometer fiber webs with a fiber size less than 1 μm. Single layer polypropylene meltblown webs with fiber diameters ranging from 520 to 2100 nm were produced using nano and micro dies. To our best knowledge, there...
