A virucidal face mask based on the reverse-flow reactor concept for thermal inactivation of SARS-CoV-2

While facial coverings reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by viral filtration, masks capable of viral inactivation by heating can provide a complementary method to limit transmission. Inspired by reverse-flow chemical reactors, we introduce a new virucidal face mask concept driven by the oscillatory fl...
