“…Different surface modifications of polypropylene nonwoven fabric (NWF) by using mineral particles are proposed to increase fabric hydrophilicity. 4 In Verma et al's study, 5 antimicrobial polypropylene was obtained by plasma functionalization and subsequent immobilization of chitosan-chlorhexidine nanogels as a bioactive component.…”

“…To create materials used in the production of PPE, it is necessary to implement two main required effects: barrier and antibacterial (prevention of the growth of bacterial colonies on the surface of the filter material during prolonged use). Different surface modifications of polypropylene nonwoven fabric (NWF) by using mineral particles are proposed to increase fabric hydrophilicity 4 . In Verma et al's study, 5 antimicrobial polypropylene was obtained by plasma functionalization and subsequent immobilization of chitosan‐chlorhexidine nanogels as a bioactive component.…”

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT), and zinc oxide (ZnO) were used to modify the polypropylene nonwoven material by the methods of “wet chemistry” and low‐energy electron beam deposition (EBD). The influence of nonwoven material modification on the morphology, chemical composition, filtration, and antibacterial properties was established. The modified material has antibacterial activity against the gram‐positive strain Staphylococcus aureus and against gram‐negative strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (suppression of bacterial growth for materials with OCT was 100%, with ZnO—70%). PTFE application to Aquaspun leads to a significant increase in the contact angle (from 141.3° to 152.7°) and air filtration efficiency (from 78.3% to 83.4%), which provides the barrier properties of the material. It was established that the material obtained using low‐energy EBD demonstrated a more pronounced antimicrobial potential against the tested strains of St. aureus.Highlights The influence of polypropylene nonwoven materials surface modification methods is systematically investigated. Low‐energy electron beam deposition increases antibacterial and filtration properties of nonwoven materials. Surface modification methods increase barrier properties of polypropylene nonwoven materials.

“…Generally, used masks are made of PP ber, where the nondirectional distribution of the ber creates a dense structure exhibiting good ltration properties. 30,31 Therefore, it should be possible to use waste masks as oil/water separation materials. In our recent work, waste masks were modied with OTS hydrophobic properties to prepare an oil-absorbent material with excellent performance, which could absorb more than 20 times its own weight of different oils and was able to be reused under abusive conditions.…”
