Copper nanoparticle (CuNP)\u2013infused medical masks are preferred due to their superior antibacterial properties. However, producing CuNPs presents challenges in antimicrobial applications. This study introduces a green synthesis method using\n                    <jats:italic>Smyrnium cordifolium<\/jats:italic>\n                    extract, offering an eco\u2010friendly approach to CuNP production. A central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize the biosynthesis of CuNPs, considering the effects of copper sulfate concentration, plant extract volume, pH, and temperature. The CuNPs were characterized using FE\u2010SEM, TEM, EDX, FTIR, zeta potential, and DLS techniques. The dip\u2010coating method was used to decorate CuNPs onto the melt\u2010blown layer of medical masks. The antibacterial efficacy of the coated masks against\n                    <jats:italic>Acinetobacter baumannii<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    was evaluated using the colony count method. The green fabrication of CuNPs was carefully enhanced by employing 14.7\u2009mM CuSO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    and 14.7\u2009mL of\n                    <jats:italic>Smyrnium cordifolium<\/jats:italic>\n                    extract, adjusting the pH to 6.8, and maintaining a temperature of 54\u00b0C. FE\u2010SEM analysis revealed that the CuNPs had a nanostructure size ranging from 31 to 57\u2009nm. Mask decoration with 1.5% CuNPs demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity. Antibacterial efficacy exceeded 85% against\n                    <jats:italic>Acinetobacter baumannii<\/jats:italic>\n                    within 0.25\u2009h. Additionally, antibacterial activity was shown for\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    with a potency of 85% after 2\u2009h. These findings confirm the potential of biosynthesized CuNPs to enhance the antimicrobial properties of medical face masks, contributing to the development of sustainable protective equipment.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/ijm\/3774572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]],"date-time":"2026-03-09T05:45:23Z","timestamp":1773035123000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effective Antibacterial Medical Mask Based on the Novel Biosynthesized Copper Nanoparticles (CuNPs)"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0140-2039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiva Mohammadjani","family":"Kumeleh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7258-5541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Hashemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4766-0503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mostafa","family":"Pouyakian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0891-0805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Amin","family":"Rashidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3764-2168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shahab","family":"Falahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1886-6713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rezvan","family":"Zendehdel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10962247.2019.1587552"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1528083720924727"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vacuum.2018.08.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/acsanm.1c03033"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-23615-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nano11092254"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2022.e09761"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/d4ra04767b"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/acsanm.3c01471"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/7967294"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matpr.2021.09.551"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.talo.2021.100080"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jece.2022.107130"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17518253.2022.2025916"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/c9ra02225b"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/catal11080902"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms10020437"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nano12142402"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1049\/nbt2.12078"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-73010-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15171\/jhp.2018.42"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijfs.16359"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jphotobiol.2018.09.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11696-019-00873-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10876-019-01613-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0269987"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_27_2","first-page":"966","article-title":"Process Parameters for Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Leaves Extract of Aloe vera Plant","volume":"3","author":"Moosa A.
