Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a suitable mask fabric aimed at reducing Volatile

Organic Compounds (VOCs) exposure during inhalation. The applicability of carbon-based

adsorbents, specifically activated carbon (AC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), was

investigated to enhance the adsorption capacity of textile surfaces against VOCs. The research aimed

to improve the VOC capture performance of nonwoven fabrics composed of polyester/polyamide by

applying these carbon-based materials.
