Abstract

Disclosed are novel composite fibrous structures which have utility as filters. These composite structures have at least two layers. The first layer is a nonwoven fibrous structure made from uniquely grooved fibers. The second layer is of a fibrous material that offers high filter efficiency.. The first layer has significantly lower pressure drop and higher dust holding capacity than the second layer.
