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.

蒙特利尔高等技术学校、ETS和NanoXplore Inc.之间的合作伙伴关系的目标是本发明的目的是开发一种用于呼吸面罩的具有提高的过滤效率的非织造过滤器。非织造过滤器将由通过电和溶液吹纺获得的纳米纤维制成，并且将含有石墨烯以增强其细菌和病毒过滤能力，因为文献报道表明这些类型的过滤器更有效。ETS和NanoXplore共同开发了聚合物石墨烯纳米复合材料的强大专业知识。这种纳米复合材料将用于通过电和溶液吹纺获得过滤器，这是ETS研究人员的另一项强大专业知识。 潜在的结果是在加拿大当地生产一种替代过滤材料，以保护医务工作者免受新冠肺炎和其他病毒的侵害。 该团队将包括ETS的三名教授和NanoXplore的两名博士研究人员，他们正在积极参与这些项目。两名实习生将被雇用来进行研究小组设计的实验。
