As shown in fig. 1, a specific process of the method for preparing a composite material layer provided in the embodiment of the present application may be as follows:
101. and preparing the nanofiber filtering layer on the first protective layer by adopting an air spinning process.
The air spinning process is a spinning method for producing nano-fiber by a solution method, in particular to a method for thinning fiber to form nano-fiber by drawing a precursor polymer solution extruded from a spinning die head by utilizing high-speed air flow and accompanying with the evaporation of a solvent.
It should be noted that the air spinning process adopted in the present application is a novel technical means for preparing nanofibers. Compared with the traditional electrostatic spinning process, the speed of producing the nano-fiber by the airflow spinning process is several times higher, so that the production scale can be realized while the morphology and the diameter of the nano-fiber are controlled, the device is simpler, the operation is safer and more convenient, and the cost is low.
For example, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air spinning device in a method for preparing a composite material according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the airflow spinning device shown in fig. 2 is only one of the device structures schematically adopted in the preparation method of the composite material provided in the embodiment of the present application, and is only used to illustrate the principle of the airflow spinning process.

The polymer solution flowing out of the spinning die head is stretched into solution thin flow by the pressure difference and the airflow shearing force at the gas/solution interface, the solution thin flow is discharged along with the airflow direction towards the collection, and the linear precursor solution thin flow is split to form micro-fiber and nano-fiber nets along with the rapid evaporation of solvent components in the flight process. Solution injection rate, gas flow rate, polymer concentration, collection distance and protrusion distance of the inner nozzle all have an effect on nanofiber diameter. The effect of polymer type and concentration on fiber diameter is greater than other parametric tests, the injection rate, air flow pressure and collection distance all affect fiber production rate or fiber morphology. The fiber can be easily formed into micro-nano fiber, which can be directly collected on plastic, stainless steel net or rotary drum. Virtually any type of target can be used for nano-fiber collection.

Compared with the electrostatic spinning process, the preparation method provided by the application adopts the airflow spinning process, and has the advantages of safer production process, no requirement on the conductivity of a polymer solution and wider selectable solution system because a high-voltage electrostatic source is not required. The thickness of the nanofiber pack on the collector does not affect the fiber quality. The electrostatic spinning process influences the fiber quality after collecting the nano-fibers with certain thickness due to the field intensity, the yarn yield of the airflow spinning process in unit time is several times of that of the electrostatic spinning, and the problem that the electrostatic spinning process is not easy to scale is greatly solved.

Comparative examples are given in the following table; because of the increase of time and the vapor in breathing in the gauze mask uses, can reduce filtering material's electrostatic effect, for the study static terminal condition of inefficacy, this application is destaticing the material and is handled. The comparison table of the performances of the PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) nanofibers and the PS (polystyrene) nanofibers prepared by air spinning in the application and the performances of the melt-blown PP fibers and the glass fibers before and after static electricity removal in the market is shown in table 1:

Table 1 is a table comparing properties of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) nanofibers and PS (polystyrene) nanofibers prepared by air spinning in the present application with those of melt-blown PP fibers and glass fibers in the market before and after removing static electricity.
Although the glass fiber filter material has a good filtering effect, the glass fiber filter material has the possibility of carcinogenesis when being inhaled into a human body, has very large air resistance, and is not suitable for being used as a manufacturing material of a mask. The air resistance of the melt-blown filter material is small, but the filtering effect is unstable, static disappears or can make efficiency reduce gradually by neutralization in the use, the risk of dust and germ permeation is increased, especially, the static effect completely loses efficacy after alcohol disinfection is carried out on the filter material, if the filter material is worn again, the protection function of the mask is equivalent to a nominal value, and therefore the filter material can only be used as a disposable protection mask. The gauze mask that uses hydrophobic nanofiber filter layer to make as the core that provides in this application then does not have such risk, and filter effect can not reduce in the use, and carries out alcohol, high temperature, ultraviolet, stifling, still has higher filter effect after boiling disinfection processing, can carry out repetitious usage.
