Abstract
The main objective of the R&D project is to develop a novel, functionalized, easily disinfectable or sterilizable oral-nasal mask with antibacterial and antiviral functional structures that can be sterilized by simple superheated steam treatment at T=120-140 °C in a relatively short time, while essentially retaining its filtration effect. This includes: an increase in filtration effectiveness for the liquid aerosol components and ultra-fine particles, the highest possible air permeability (low breathing resistance), the mask-internal disinfection of the liquid droplets and particles fixed by the nonwoven material, the reusability of the mask by washing and disinfection after use, and environmentally sound disposal after the period of use has expired.
