Development of Breathable, Environmentally and Human-Friendly Cloth Mask That Meets Thermal Comfort Conditions and A Continuous Machine That Enables Industrial Production of This Mask

Ever-changing viruses that have threatened human health from past to present have greatly changed people's lifestyles. The most important precaution in infectious diseases is hygiene. Although hygiene is important in epidemics, the use of masks is the most effective method of protection in respiratory diseases. Since epidemic and infectious diseases remain stable in the incubation phase in people who do not have chronic diseases and have a strong immune system, these people without symptoms of the disease can be carriers. In addition, masks are used as protective equipment to prevent occupational diseases that may occur in sectors such as textiles. For this reason, within the scope of the study, it is suitable for multi-use with the use of sustainable class A natural raw materials, which prevents the formation of bacteria in all social areas even if there are no symptoms of disease, provides comfort with its coolness and soft structure, provides thermal comfort conditions for long-term use with its antistatic feature. It is aimed to develop an environmentally friendly cloth mask and a continuous system that performs serial pleating and ironing processes that will accelerate its industrial production.
