Face masks have been used as the most effective and economically viable preventive tool, which also creates a sense of social solidarity in collectively combatting airborne health hazards. In spite enormous research literature, massive production, competitive market, use modern age face masks-respirators (FMR) is restricted for specific purposes or during public emergencies. It attributed to lack awareness, prominent myths, architect manufacturing limitations, concerns, probable solid waste management. However, efforts dedicated address these issues through using materials textiles such nanomaterials mask fabrication. Conventional FMRs possess bottlenecks breathing issues, skin problems, single use, fungal infections, communication barrier differently abled, inefficiency filter minute contaminants, sourcing secondary contamination issue solid-waste management upon usage. Contrary, FMR engineered with functional owing high surface area, unique physicochemical properties, enriched chemistries challenges due smart features like self-cleaning ability, biocompatibility, transparency, multiple usages, anti-contaminant, good breathability, excellent filtration capacity, pathogen detecting scavenging capabilities. This review highlights state-of-the-art different dimensional nanocomposites combat hazards, especially infectious outbreaks air contamination. Besides, myths facts about FMR, associated challenges, potential sustainable solutions, prospects “point-of-action” intelligent operation integration internet-of-nano-things, 5G wireless communications, artificial intelligence are discussed.

One primary mechanism for bacteria developing resistance is frequent exposure to antibiotics. Nanoantibiotics (nAbts) one of the strategies being explored counteract surge antibiotic resistant bacteria. nAbts are molecules encapsulated with engineered nanoparticles (NPs) or artificially synthesized pure antibiotics a size range ≤100 nm in at least dimension. NPs may restore drug efficacy because their nanoscale functionalities. As carriers and delivery agents, can reach target sites inside bacterium by crossing cell membrane, interfering cellular components, damaging metabolic machinery. Nanoscale systems deliver enormous particle number concentrations. The unique size-, shape-, composition-related properties pose multiple simultaneous assaults on Resistance toward diverse conjugates considerably slower generate non-biological adverse effects. physically break down interfere critical used bacterial processes. Genetic mutations from abiotic assault exerted less probable. This paper discusses how exploit fundamental physical chemical conventional We first described concept explained importance. then summarized physicochemical that be utilized manufacturing designing various types. epitomize potential Trojan horse strategy circumvent mechanisms. availability types targets increasing due advances nanotechnology.
