The goal of this partnership between École de Technologie Supérieure de Montréal, ETS, and NanoXplore Inc. is to develop a nonwoven filter with increased filtering efficiency to be used in respiratory masks. The nonwoven filter will be made out of nanometric fibers obtained by electro and solution blow-spinning and will contain graphene to enhance its bacterial and virus filtration abilities as reports from the literature indicate that those types of filters are more efficient. Together ETS and NanoXplore have develelopped a strong expertise on polymer graphene nanocomposites. This nanocomposites will be used to obtain filters by electro and solution blow-spinning, another strong expertise of the researchers of ETS. The potential outcome is the local production of an alternative filtration material to protect medical workers from Covid-19, and other viruses, in Canada. The team will involve three professors of ETS, and 2 PhD researchers of NanoXplore working actively on the projects. Two interns will be hired to carry out the experiments that will be designed by the research team.

蒙特利尔高等理工学院、ETS 和 NanoXplore Inc. 之间的合作目标是开发一种具有更高过滤效率的无纺布过滤器，用于呼吸面罩。该无纺布过滤器将由通过电和法获得的纳米纤维制成。溶液吹纺，并含有石墨烯以增强其细菌和病毒过滤能力，文献报道表明，这些类型的过滤器结合使用 ETS 和 NanoXplore 效率更高。在聚合物石墨烯纳米复合材料方面拥有强大的专业知识，这种纳米复合材料将用于通过电纺和溶液吹纺获得过滤器，这是 ETS 研究人员的另一项强大的专业知识。 潜在的结果是在加拿大本地生产替代过滤材料，以保护医务人员免受 Covid-19 和其他病毒的侵害。 该团队将包括三名 ETS 教授和两名积极从事该项目的 NanoXplore 博士研究人员，并将聘请两名实习生来开展研究团队设计的实验。
