Nanoweb for Nanobugs: Nanofiber Filter Media for Face Masks

Katarina E. Goodge,
Wendy A. Alwala,
Margaret W. Frey

Abstract: Nonwoven face masks are being explored as potential multifunctional, wearable, and smart healthcare devices. The fibers in the nonwoven layers can effectively mechanically and electrostatically capture submicrometer particles depending on their fiber size, porosity, and surface charge. While surface charge enhances the filtration of mechanical capture alone, charge is sensitive to moisture, heat, disinfectant solvents, and storage. TriboElectric NanoGenerators (TENG) are a solution to leverage the biomechanica… Show more
