  • Patent number: 11969508
    Abstract: A plastic material for extended release of a bio-active agent, the plastic material comprising a structural polymer, at least one bio-active ingredient embedded within the structural polymer as solid islands, a liquid binding material embedded within the structural polymer as granules, and a carrier liquid absorbed within the liquid-absorbent material. The carrier liquid may be sufficiently non-compatible with the structural polymer so that at least a portion of the carrier liquid is released from the liquid-absorbent material through the structural polymer to an outer surface of the plastic material over a period of time, such as a week or more, a month or more, or about three months. The bio-active agent comprised in the at least one bio-active ingredient may be sufficiently soluble in the carrier liquid at room or body temperature so that the carrier liquid released to the outer surface comprises the bio-active agent in solution.

  • Patent number: 8754041
    Abstract: The method of removing Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria from an aqueous solution includes the step of mixing multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with a dodecylamine group (C12H27N) into an aqueous solution containing E. coli bacteria. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with a dodecylamine group have an antimicrobial effect against the E. coli bacteria. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes may be mixed into the aqueous solution at a concentration of between approximately 0.2 g and 0.007 g of multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with a dodecylamine group per 100 ml of the aqueous solution.
