The current COVID-19 pandemic is stretching both the global supply for face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE). Production capacity is severely limited in many countries. This is a call for the R&D community, particularly to those in the polymer degradation and stability field. We have not only an opportunity but an obligation to engage and collaborate with virology and bio-medical experts. We require comparative R&D for extended, reuse and recyclability options. There is urgent need for large scale institutional approaches and methods that can be quickly applied locally by non-experts with limited resources.
当前的新冠疫情使全球口罩和个人防护装备（PPE）的供应面临压力。许多国家的生产能力严重受限。这是对研发界的呼吁，尤其是对聚合物降解与稳定性领域的人士。我们不仅有机会，而且有义务与病毒学和生物医学专家合作。我们需要对延长使用、重复使用和可回收利用选项进行对比研发。迫切需要大规模的制度性方法，以便资源有限的非专业人员能够在当地迅速应用。
