What can tribologists do for the end of COVID-19?

29 January 2023 0 4K Report

Tribology is a science for studying the phenomenon of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Friction, wear and lubrication are three main research fields of tribology. It seems has nothing to do with COVID-19. But, because friction appears everywhere, we can think tribologists can do something for the end of COVID-19. Biotribology is a fast developing branch of tribology. In the field, mouth (or oral) tribology has some relationship with COVID-19. When we breath, air go through our respiratory organs. If there is virsus in the air, infection can occur. Mask is a useful tool to prevent virsus from going through inlet. Then, mask tribology is very important for the end of COVID-19. How to design good seal mask? How to lower the friction of mask?
