Popis:	As a major international public health emergency, COVID-19 has posed many challenges for healthcare professionals who have been heavily exposed to contamination. This article describes the development of a high-filtration capacity mask consisting of filter-element layers interspersed with super-activated carbon fiber fabric, non-woven polypropylene for dental–medical–hospital use and antiviral polyamide with nanostructured SiO2 thin film coating. The study found 98.18% particle filtration efficiency and determined 2.11 mmH2O/cm2 differential pressure, while fluid repellency complied with Brazilian standard NBR ABNT 15052:2004.
