Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), Bangalore researchers have developed a cup-shaped design mask that helps to create enough space in front of the mouth while speaking to tackle COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly developed snug fit mask causes no speech distortion, no fogging on glasses, and indeed, packs well all around. It is designed in a way that the mask leaves practically no room for leakage while breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high breathability feature of the mask allows one to wear it without any discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The researchers have chosen the fabric layers such that there is a possibility of deactivating pathogens sheerly by the electric charges that may prevail under mild friction due to the triboelectric nature of the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, it uses an ergonomic design for the COVID-19 protection mask, which is essential for its ease of use for long hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company has planned to produce and sell around one lakh mask per day through different distribution channels throughout India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
