There has been a lot of work being done in the field of flexible and printed electronics to try to stop the COVID-19 pandemic. Much of that work is in the area of sensors, but personal protective equipment, or PPE, is another area of great importance as masks can help prevent the disease from spreading.
Bonbouton is making inroads in the field of graphene-infused masks. The company, which is working on insoles to help detect and prevent diabetic amputations, has applied its expertise toward the field of masks.
The masks come in white, black, navy, brown and gray, and so far, the company’s results have been excellent, as its first large order of graphene masks has shipped to customers. The mask and filter are both washable and reusable.
Linh Le, Bonbouton’s founder and CEO, said that when the pandemic hit, the Bonbouton team was chipping in to donate PPEs to hospitals in the US, but the need was too great.
“We found that there was a huge shortage of masks, so rather than just donate funds, we decided to use our expertise in graphene technology (what’s found in our smart
