Revolutionary Material Boosts Face Mask Efficiency by Capturing Coronavirus Particles
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed a new material that can capture coronavirus particles, potentially improving the efficiency of face masks and other filter equipment. The material, which is approximately 93% more effective at capturing proteins, including coronavirus proteins, while maintaining breathability, has been successfully tested in face masks and air filters. The team plans to further develop the material for capturing other bioaerosols, including new COVID variants and deadly viruses such as Nipah.
