Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a cost-efficient approach to produce polymer fibers with surfactants for the purpose of producing material for facial masks with anti-viral properties. Polymer fibers of hundreds of nanometers with surfactants are produced through electrospinning of their solutions. When the fibers are hydrated by moisture, the movement of surfactants on the surfaces of the hydrated fibers is enabled. These surfactants can then disrupt the membrane of the virus and deactivate it. All the polymers and surfactants are FDA-approved commercially available.
