Performance of Composite Filters Assembled from Multiple Layers of Basic Filtration Media by Peng Wang, Zhen Liu, Da-Ren Chen

“…Abstract There is a severe shortage of face masks and N95 respirators due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in countries that were not well prepared in advance. In order to help ease the supply demands of these resources, a strategy of using multiple layers of basic filtration media to construct a composite filter that can match the particle collection efficiency offered by a N95 filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) is proposed. …”
