Electrospun Nanofibers-Based Face Masks [PDF]

Advanced Fiber Materials, 2020
Textiles have proved to be very important materials to human beings since the time immemorial. And, fibers are the basic building units of these materials. In this perspective we substantiate the uniqueness and capability of nanofibers as active layers in face masks, to protect people against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
