Key Points
Self-sterilizing masks demonstrate significant antimicrobial properties against pathogens, enhancing safety.
In laboratory tests, masks reduce bacterial presence by up to 99% within a specified timeframe.
Assessment involves printing silver nanowire-microparticle composite ink on various fabrics for durability and effectiveness.
The findings highlight potential uses in personal protective equipment across healthcare sectors.
