New paper in Communications Materials describes antiviral membrane

A collaboration involving the Hastings' group recently published results describing a new antiviral membrane filter.  The effort, led by Dr. Bhattacharyya in U.K.'s Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, showed that the new membrane can capture aerosols and deactivate the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.  It also showed good breathability and resistance to fouling making it suitable for both mask and indoor air filtration applications.
