Abstract:The paper considers the influence of plasma flow of a high-frequency capacitive discharge at reduced pressure (as a potential sterilization tool) on the main physical and mechanical characteristics of a three-layer medical mask (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond). The treatment was carried out using argon and air as plasma-forming gases. It is shown that the breathability of the mask determines (limits) the breathability of the middle layer (meltblown). Plasma treatment in the modes under consideration does not sign… Show more
