Abstract
The article deals with the issue of state interventions during the pandemic in the Czech Republic and the role of nanotechnology, which played an important role in increasing the production capacity of personal protective equipment. Nanotechnology has been rarely used in the long term for the filtration of bacteria and viruses due to its relatively high cost compared to conventional technologies that are commonly used to filter bacteria and viruses. Due to the positive demand shock and therefore the increased price, nanofibres became much more widely used in respirators and hoods. However, the global shortage of protective equipment, in addition to the high demand, also caused government intervention. These may have adversely affected the potential for global implementation of nanofibres in respirators. Based on empirical research, the aim of this paper is to identify the innovation environment during the pandemic and the interventions that disrupted the innovation environment in nanotechnology.
