Abstract
Embodiments include a filter material including an electrospun nanofiber membrane and an active nanomaterial agent incorporated into the electrospun nanofiber membrane, wherein the electrospun nanofiber membrane filters disease-causing agents and the wherein the active nanomaterial agent degrades disease-causing agents. Embodiments further include a face mask and/or respirator including a filter material, wherein the filter material includes an electrospun nanofiber membrane and an active nanomaterial agent incorporated into the electrospun nanofiber membrane, wherein the electrospun nanofiber membrane filters disease-causing agents and the wherein the active nanomaterial agent degrades disease-causing agents.
Claims20
A filter material comprising:
- an electrospun nanofiber membrane and active nanomaterial agents incorporated into the electrospun nanofiber membrane, wherein the electrospun nanofiber membrane filters disease-causing agents, wherein the active nanomaterial agent degrades disease-causing agents, wherein the active nanomaterial agents comprise star anise, black seeds, and a mixture of glycerol monolaurate and zinc, and wherein the electrospun nanofiber membrane has
- a differential pressure of less than 80 Pa cm−2.
