Tomsk State University (TSU) is offering innovative technology for the production of protective face masks by increasing the period of their effectiveness using bioactive copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles.
The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has shown that there is an urgent need for effective measures to prevent the spread of viral infections of various nosologies. Currently, the most popular personal protective equipment is facial masks, which can reduce the invasion and spread of respiratory viruses, but after about two hours, their antiviral effectiveness is significantly reduced.
One of the ways to increase antiviral efficacy is to impart antiseptic properties to polymer medical materials, including fibrous ones, by modifying them with bioactive nanoparticles of copper oxide and zinc oxide...
