The widespread emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed ourlifestyle, and facial respirators have become an essential part of daily life.Nevertheless, the current respirators possess several limitations such as poorrespirator fit because they are incapable of covering diverse human facialsizes and shapes, potentially diminishing the effect of wearing respirators. Inaddition, the current facial respirators do not inform the user of the airquality within the smart facepiece respirator in case of continuous long-termuse. Here, we demonstrate the novel smart N-95 filtering facepiece respiratorthat incorporates the humidity sensor and pressure sensory feedback-enabledself-fit adjusting functionality for the effective performance of the facialrespirator to prevent the transmission of airborne pathogens. The laser-inducedgraphene (LIG) constitutes the humidity sensor, and the pressure sensor arraybased on the dielectric elastomeric sponge monitors the respirator contact onthe face of the user, providing the sensory information for a closed-loopfeedback mechanism. As a result of the self-fit adjusting mode along withelastomeric lining, the fit factor is increased by 3.20 and 5 times at averageand maximum respectively. We expect that the experimental proof-of-concept ofthis work will offer viable solutions to the current commercial respirators toaddress the limitations.
