Biodegradable and high-performance multiscale structured nanofiber membrane as mask filter media via poly(lactic acid) electrospinning

Ling Wang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new method for creating biodegradable and reusable fibrous mask filters using true nanoscale bio-based poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers. The designed filter exhibits high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop, making it suitable for mask preparation.

Efficacy of facemasks in mitigating respiratory exposure to submicron aerosols

Ashish Sharma et al.

Summary: The study found that respirators had the highest filtration efficiency and breathing resistance, followed by medical and handmade FPE; while handmade FPE had relatively longer potential usage time, they were far less efficient in filtering virus-laden submicron aerosols compared with respirators.

Effect of structuring emulsion gels by whey or soy protein isolate on the structure, mechanical properties, and in-vitro digestion of alginate-based emulsion gel beads

Duanquan Lin et al.

Summary: In this study, whey protein isolate and soy protein isolate were utilized as emulsifiers and structure-modifying agents in alginate-based emulsion gel beads. Whey protein isolate exhibited superior emulsifying properties compared to soy protein isolate, leading to smaller and more uniform droplet size distribution in the emulsions. The findings highlight the importance of using naturally occurring polymers to structure emulsion gels for controlled release of encapsulated compounds.

An investigation into the leaching of micro and nano particles and chemical pollutants from disposable face masks - linked to the COVID-19 pandemic

G. L. Sullivan et al.

Summary: The study found that disposable plastic face masks emit micro and nano scale polymeric fibers, particles, chemicals, and heavy metals when submerged in water to simulate environmental conditions. The presence of toxic chemicals and potential risks from certain residues raise concerns about the safety of daily use and disposal of these masks.

Microstructure analysis and image-based modelling of face masks for COVID-19 virus protection

Wenjia Du et al.

Summary: The study used X-ray tomographic imaging and infrared thermal imaging techniques to reveal the structures and air permeability of three common face masks. It found that the N95 mask had the best droplet filtration efficiency and proposed modifications to develop the next generation mask with higher efficacy and better breathability.
