Protective Face Masks: Current Status and Future Trends

Alberto Tunon-Molina et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks have played a crucial role in personal protection. However, traditional face masks made of materials lacking inactivation properties may still lead to infection transmission. Researchers have been working on developing face masks with antimicrobial, self-cleaning, reusable, and biodegradable properties to provide extra protection in a sustainable way.
