摘要:
A pathogen-deactivating fibrous material is coated with salt crystals or salt crystal layer. The salt crystals or coating on the supporting fibrous material layer dissolves upon exposure to pathogenic aerosols and recrystallizes during evaporation of water from the pathogenic aerosols. Recrystallization of the salt deactivates pathogens. The pathogen- deactivating fibrous material can be used in a sanitizing fabric, an air filtering device, such as respiratory devices, masks, furnace filter devices, air conditioning device, vehicle cabin filter device, etc., and can provide a universal personal protection for preventing infections.
摘要:
Bubble architectures are formed using biologically-derived surfactant, for example, the protein Ranaspumin-2 and other biologically derived surfactants, to create functional materials that mimic cellular physiological processes. In one embodiment, the bubble architecture is used to form an artificial photosynthesis platform for converting light and CO2 to a value-added product, for example, simple sugar.
