Abstrakt
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has triggered great global public health
concerns. Face masks are essential tools to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 from human to human.
However, there are still challenges with extending the serving life and maintaining the filtration
performance of the current commercial masks. Filters composed of ultrafine fibers with diameters down
to tens of nanometers have the potential to physically block viruses. The idea of developing an
electrospun membrane with these ultrafine fibers to be integrated into the mask seems an innovative
idea. A right mechanism must be developed to make it happen. This study presents the development of
an electrospun membrane on a non-woven support by using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for face
masks.
