چکیده
This paper presents the results of first part testing a novel electrospun fiber mat based on unique macromolecule: polyisobutylene (PIB). A PIB-based compound containing zinc oxide (ZnO) was into self-supporting mats 203.75 and 295.5 g/m2 that were investigated using variety techniques. The show hydrophobic are not cytotoxic, resist fibroblast cell adhesion biofilm formation comfortable easy to breathe through for use as mask. great promise personal protective equipment other applications.
