Abstract The filtration of airborne particulate matter (PM) and aerosols utilizing nonwoven fibrous materials has received significant research concern due to the continuing global pandemics, especially outbreak coronavirus disease (COVID-19), particularly for face masks as a measure personal protection. Although spun-bond or melt-blown fabrics are among pioneer in development polymer microfiber-based air filters on large scale, relatively new manufacturing processes like electrospinning solution blow spinning (SBS) gaining momentum manufacturers filter membranes. high performance nanofiber is their surface area volume ratio which increases interaction between PM improves electrostatic charge distribution electret filters, allowing enhanced capture capability based deposition. Moreover, small diameter nanofibrous breathability mask by providing slip effect, turn reduces pressure drop through membrane. This paper provides comprehensive review contemporary advances masks, detailing working mechanism involved, reviewing recent experimental studies, discussing improvements efficiency three main strategies, including mechanical antimicrobial functionality. Furthermore, prospective introduced considers synergistic combination effects mechanisms designing multifunctional structure that can efficiently wide range with higher lower drops pressure. New trends activity smart material-based membranes fight against infectious agents also described.

Abstract Developing special textiles (for patients in hospitals for example) properties, antimicrobial and anticancer, was the main objective of current work. The developed were produced after dyeing by novel formula natural (non-environmental toxic) pigments (melanin amended microbial-AgNPs). Streptomyces torulosus isolate OSh10 with accession number KX753680.1 selected as a superior producer brown pigment. By optimization processes, some different pigment colors observed growing tested strain on 3 media. Dextrose malt extract enhanced bacteria to produce reddish-black color. However, glycerol carbon source NaNO asparagine nitrogen noted best production In another case, starch polysaccharide deep green Peptone are sources Microbial-AgNPs Fusarium oxysporum size 7–21 nm, shape spherical. These nanoparticles used pigments-nanocomposite improve their promising properties. nanocomposites recorded against multidrug-resistant pathogens. new nanocomposite improved pigments' action textile had anticancer activity skin cancer cells non-cytotoxicity detectable normal cells. obtained results indicate application these hospital patients’ clothes.
