Abstract
Filtration media and methods for providing filtration are provided, including High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration media and HEPA filtration. The filtration media include glass fibers and a graphene coating on the glass fibers. The graphene-coated glass fibers form/define a conductive coating. The graphene-coated glass fibers maintain the particulate filtration functionality of a HEPA filter while adding an electrostatic filtration capability.
