Fabrication of antibacterial nanofiber substrate using polyethylene terephthalate and copper nitrate to determine the efficiency of submicron particle filtration
Abstract:Background: Surgical masks are usually used to protect surgeons from the transmission of disease and germs, as well as preventing the transmission of infectious agents to the environment and others. The mask may not be a suitable environment for the growth and reproduction of microbes. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of making antibacterial mask substrate providing high efficiency and low pressure drop.
Materials and Methods:For the purpose of the study, nanofiber substra… Show more
