Theoretical estimation signifies that an 85 L/min rate of airflow through the face mask is possible which ensures good breathability over an extensive range of pressure drops and pore sizes. Finally, it can be concluded that licorice root membrane may be used to produce a biobased face mask to control COVID-19 spread. No study on the development of biobased face masks using licorice root membrane was found in the literature. In this paper, we have proposed the potential of the licorice root membrane as a nanofiber that can be used in the production of a face mask.	./cache/cord-343535-r8rsbfs3.txt	./txt/cord-343535-r8rsbfs3.txt
