By 2050, 700 million people will have hearing loss, requiring rehabilitation services. For about 80% of deaf and hard-hearing individuals, face coverings hinders their ability to lip-read. Also, the normal population experiences issues socializing when wearing masks. Therefore, there is a need evaluate further develop transparent In this work, properties polymers used in ten commercial masks were determined. The chemical composition including nose bridges ear loops was determined by FTIR spectroscopy. focus characterizations on portion each mask. half masks, contained PET, while other it consisted PETG, PC, iPP, PVC, or SR (silicone rubber). Most had been coated with anti-fog material, few scratch-resistant compounds, as indicated XRF/EDX, SEM/EDX, contact angle measurements. Thermal, molecular weight, mechanical TGA/DSC, SEC, tensile tests, respectively. To measure optical properties, UV-Vis reflectance haze applied. An assessment recommendations better made, improvement sustainability.
