Description
- Activities
- The project team will design, develop, and produce new biopolymer-based nonwovens material; develop electrospun filtration materials; and develop two self-contained, fully automated and rapidly deployable manufacturing cells for PPE (e.g., surgical masks, reusable community masks, caps, booties).
- Expected outcomes
- This project will lead to the production of biodegradable personal protective equipment (PPE) products and alternative filtration materials and greater capabilities to surge-produce PPE at local points of need.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The general public, small and medium manufacturers, as well as state governments will benefit from biodegradable PPE and alternative filtration materials that reduce environmental impact; manufacturing opportunities to produce quality, competitive, products and ensure a resilient supply chain for PPE; and tools that enable manufacturers to rapidly change their automation lines to supply PPE products during a pandemic. Additionally, manufacturers, and health care workers indirectly, will benefit from the greater operational efficiencies and ready access to PPE.
- Subrecipient activities
- The recipient plans to subaward funds to conduct research into thrusts: 1) biodegradable PPE materials; 2) electonspun PPE materials; and 3) PPE line automation aspects of this research project.
