Abstract

To prevent the community transmission people are used N-95 mask or simple mask. The diameter of the corona virus is 6 to 140nm. So, this mask can’t prevent entry of this virus. So, a new redesigned mask is prepared, ‘CORO-X’ for the making of the mask nanoparticles are used. Total three layers are present in this mask. First and third layer is simple filtration layer and the second layer is nano particle layer where metals like silver and copper are present. Nano particles contain more surface area compare to microparticles. Polymer adsorption properties play important role to destroy the virus.
