  • Publication number: 20250017294
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to coated substrates having, e.g., anti-viral properties, to articles including the coated substrates, and to processes for making such coated substrates and articles. In an embodiment, a coated substrate is provided. The coated substrate includes a substrate having a weight of about 120 g/m2 or less according to ASTM D3776, mineral oxide particles, iron oxide particles, or both, coupled to at least a portion of the substrate wherein the coated substrate has a breathing resistance (95 L/min, EN 149:2001) of about 6 mbar or less.

  • Patent number: 11678703
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to coated substrates having, e.g., anti-viral properties, to articles including the coated substrates, and to processes for making such coated substrates and articles. In an embodiment, a mask for preventing infection by a virus is provided. The mask includes a coated substrate having a breathing resistance (95 L/min, EN 149:2001) of about 6 mbar or less and a water droplet absorption time of less than about 5 seconds. The coated substrate includes a non-woven fabric having a weight of about 120 g/m2 or less according to ASTM D3776, and mineral oxide particles, iron oxide particles, or both, coupled to at least a portion of the non-woven fabric.

  • Publication number: 20210387158
    Abstract: The present invention is related to highly oxygenated nanoribbons and highly microporous carbon (mPC) produced by the oxidation of a series of carbon blacks in nitric acid followed by fast and slow pyrolysis, respectively. New porous carbons according to the invention does not need to be activated by strong alkaline activators, for example, KOH and NaOH. The best prepared mPC showed a high capacity for carbon dioxide capture of 1 to 3.9 mmol/g at pressures between 0.15 and 1 bar and 25° C.

  • Publication number: 20210170321
    Abstract: The present invention relates to porous carbon spheres via one-step non-catalytic and activation-free chemical vapor deposition method possessing a large volume of ultra-micropores. The ultra-micropore structure allows for with good cyclic stability, easy regeneration, favorable selectivity, and rapid sorption kinetics resulting in high capacity of CO2 capture at atmospheric and low pressures.
