Abstract
The corona virus or SARS-CoV2 is a pathogenic virus that has become a pandemic and a threat in almost all countries in the world. SARS-CoV2 belongs to the Coronaviridae family with particle sizes varying around 60 nm - 140 nm. Various regulations and prevention have been designed to reduce the impact of Covid-19 by SARS-CoV2. Several technologies and studies have been developed to form nanofiber woven membranes. Cellulose nanofibers and chitin/chitosan nanofibers have been studied and are known to have nanometer-sized structures smaller than SARS-CoV2. Chitin/chitosan has been investigated to have antiviral properties, especially corona virus. Cellulose nanofibers, and chitin/chitosan nanofibers has the potential to be developed for Covid-19 virus nanofiltration masks. Various active agents (nanosilver, nanogold, CuO, etc.) have been known to have antiviral and/or antibacterial properties so that they can be used as nanofillers to enhance the performance and effectiveness of nanofibers based masks against SARS-CoV2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Research and Technology (JART) is a bimonthly open access journal that publishes papers on innovative applications, development of new technologies and efficient solutions in engineering, computing and scientific research. JART publishes manuscripts describing original research, with significant results based on experimental, theoretical and numerical work.
The journal does not charge for submission, processing, publication of manuscripts or for color reproduction of photographs.
JART classifies research into the following main fields:
-Material Science:
Biomaterials, carbon, ceramics, composite, metals, polymers, thin films, functional materials and semiconductors.
-Computer Science:
Computer graphics and visualization, programming, human-computer interaction, neural networks, image processing and software engineering.
-Industrial Engineering:
Operations research, systems engineering, management science, complex systems and cybernetics applications and information technologies
-Electronic Engineering:
Solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, power electronics, electronic devices and circuits and automation.
-Instrumentation engineering and science:
