COVID-19 belongs to a typical class of viruses that predominantly affects the human respiratory system,
thereby proving to be fatal to many. The virus, along with other air pollutant particulates poses a severe
threat to the human respiratory organs. Since the most common transmission mode is respiratory fo-
mites and aerosol particulates, it is necessary to prevent their ingression through a mask. The primary
use of masks is to prevent aerial particulates. This paper reveals the development of masks with air filters
coated with functionalized graphene (fG) mounted on a 3D-printed facial mask replica. The fused
deposition modeling (FDM) process is used for fabricating the facial...
