"We haven't seen any kind of face mask in the market that bears all three properties," Gao said. She said the university would like to mass-produce the transparent face masks if any manufacturer is interested. The team has also filed patents for the material's application in other areas, including the desalination of seawater. The team said it could also be used on motion sensors for people and robotics, as well as on electrical appliances.
