This protection against SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne infections encourages industry stakeholders to develop and produce novel solutions. Nanoparticles, nanofibers, and other cutting-edge nanomaterials technologies have been incorporated into the mask manufacturing process. This article deals with the different type of face mask their usage and recent developments to increase the effectiveness and the durability of the facemasks. Some recent studies using nanomaterials are also discussed.
