Manufacture of fibroustructure facemask to protect against coronavirus using electrospinning
Abstract
In order to live safely with an exacerbation of the Coronavirus, a face mask must be made with specifications that prevent infection or transmission among people; which is characterized by high efficiency and low cost, and renewable. Fiberstructure widely used in air filtration industry using electrospinning method, where its field is booming in an exceptionally impressive manner. Using a biopolymer as a olyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) to create a facemask will give excellent results because of the solidity and porosity of the polymer in addition to the non-stick feature. During this work, emphasis will be placed on the best method to manufacture the face mask in terms of the solidity and non-stick feature which gives a longer life for facemask. The facemask is quicker and more affordable than delivering a treatment or a counteractant, and furthermore gives the facemask better outcomes against the Coronavirus.
