“…This aptitude makes the mask able to elevate its surface temperature above 70ºC within 5 minutes when exposed to sunlight, a temperature which is adequate for SARS-CoV-2 inhibition [124]. The antiviral activity of carbon-based materials has also been attributed to a photothermal antiviral mechanism and/or reactive oxygen species generation [143]. A method for functionalizing commercially available surgical masks by a dual-mode laser-induced forward transfer method to deposit few-layer graphene onto nonwoven fabrics with superhydrophobicity, and outstanding self-cleaning and photothermal properties has been reported [105] (Figure 10).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has stressed the importance of the use of personal protective of personal protective equipment (PPE). In the present time, face masks, as representative example of PPE, demonstrated useful significant contribution in COVID-19 pandemic management effectively. However, these commonly used face masks are made of materials without inactivation properties against either SARS-CoV-2 or multidrugresistant bacteria. Therefore, symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals can infect other people even if they wear them since some viable microbial loads can escape from the masks. Furthermore, microbial contact transmission can occur by touching the mask, and they are an increasing source of contaminated biological waste. In this regard, during the current pandemic, many researchers have been working on the development of face masks made of advanced materials with intrinsic antimicrobial properties to avoid these problems, and thus provide extra protection against pathogens. In this dazzling race against COVID-19, this review presents the types of commercialized face mask, their main fabrication methods and treatments, and the progress achieved in the development of smart antimicrobial face masks.

“…Carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with great features like unique construction, outstanding mechanical/chemical stability, and antimicrobial performance [ 50 , 51 ] have been employed broadly in fabrication air filters which Table 2 shows many of them. The following are some of their applications in this regard.…”

“…Studies showed that graphene materials interact with viruses via binding and wrapping mechanisms. These materials act as virustatic inhibitors, resulting in the inhibition of virus interaction with host cells (Mallakpour et al, 2021). A series of graphene derivatives altering the length of aliphatic chains were synthesized to investigate the inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 (Donskyi et al, 2021).…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a contagious virus that spreads exponentially across the world, resulting in serious viral pneumonia. Several companies and researchers have put their tremendous effort into developing novel vaccines or drugs for the complete eradication of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. Bionanotechnology plays a vital role in designing functionalized biocompatible nanoparticulate systems with higher antiviral capabilities. Thus, several nanocarriers have been explored in designing and delivering drugs and vaccines. This problem can be overcome with the intervention of biomaterials or bionanoparticles. The present review describes the comparative analysis of SARS infection and its associated etiological agents. This review also highlighted some nanoparticles that have been explored in the treatment of COVID-19. However, these carriers elicit several problems once they come in contact with biological systems. Often, the body’s immune system treats these nanocarriers as foreign particles and antigens. In contrast, some bionanoparticles are highlighted here with their potential application in SARS-CoV-2. However, bionanoparticles have demonstrated some drawbacks discussed here with the possible outcomes. The scope of bioinspired nanoparticles is also discussed in detail to explore the new era of research. It is highly essential for the effective delivery of these nanoparticles to the target site. For effective management of SARS-CoV-2, different delivery patterns are also discussed here.
