Description
One of the reasons for the uncontrolled spread of the coronavirus is the transmission through so-called aerosols, smaller, free-floating droplet units that are distributed by air conditioning systems and respiration. Efficient filters therefore play an important role when using masks. The aim of the project is to apply know-how already acquired in the field of porous ceramic materials and filtration to the development of filters for masks.
