(A) Schematic illustration of the centrifugal multispinning polymer nanofibre production process. (B) The polymer nanofibres spun by the system. The increase of the number of sub-disk shows the proportional enhancement of the productivity. (C) Face masks and mask filters fabricated using mass-produced nanofibres (inset) (KAIST) The advance from a team at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) is said to have several applications including the development of face mask filters for coronavirus protection.
