Electrospun Nanofibers-Based Face Masks
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). This time-sensitive letter introduces the mechanisms based on which their active filters function, the uniqueness of electrospun nanofibers in face masks and do-it-yourself (DIY) steps to realize a fully functional face mask at home.
