WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How antiviral polymers were discovered, how the field has developed and what the future may hold for the field of antiviral materials 
  • What structural features give a polymer antiviral properties 
  • How four key aspects contribute to successful decontamination (decontamination efficacy, safety for the wearer, filtration efficiency, and respirator fit) 
  • How different respirator makes and models use different materials making it essential that each model is tested separately for each method
