A method is provided to form a barrier configured to be placed between a first region and a second region, to prevent passage of pathogens between the first region and the second region. The method includes melt blowing a stream of polymer fibers onto a surface to form a non-woven fabric used to make the barrier. The melt blowing includes introducing pathogenicidal components into the stream of polymer fibers. A device of a system is also provided to form the barrier according to the method disclosed herein. The device is configured to introduce pathogenicidal components into the stream of polymer fibers downstream of the extruder and upstream of the collector.
A method for forming a barrier configured to be placed between a first region and a second region, to prevent passage of pathogens between the first and second regions, the method comprising:
A device of a system to form a barrier configured to be placed between a first region and a second region, to prevent passage of pathogens between the first region and the second region, the system comprising an extruder configured to melt polymer pellets to form pressurized molten polymer, the system further comprising a metering pump configured to discharge a consistent flow of pressurized molten polymer received from the extruder, the system further comprising a spinneret configured to extrude polymer filament strands from holes defined by the spinneret based on the pressurized molten polymer received from the metering pump, the system further comprising an air manifold configured to attenuate the polymer filament strands into the stream of polymer fibers that are directed onto a collector that defines the surface to form the non-woven fabric, wherein:
