A thermoresponsive facial mask has a non-woven fabric structure with multiple layers, wherein at last one of the layers of the non-woven fabric structure has far-infrared hollow fibers. The far-infrared hollow fibers content far-infrared powers that emit a far-infrared radiation. A formula for the thermoresponsive facial mask has a polyalcohol and a germanium element, which promotes the thermoresponsive facial mask to generate an advantage of forming the warming effect automatically.

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/m.sup.2 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.

Embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for detecting and indicating end-of-service-life in disposable filtration masks. Applicant has proposed incorporating end-of-service-life indicators comprising color changing chemicals into the mask. The indicating chemicals may be incorporated into the nonwoven fabric material of the mask, or may be attached to the nonwoven material of the mask, such as by dipping, spraying, or adhering. The color change of the indicating chemicals may indicate to a user that the use life of the mask has been depleted.

A multilayer nonwoven fabric includes: a surface layer; an intermediate layer; and a back layer; in this order, wherein the surface layer and the back layer are each independently a spunbonded nonwoven layer comprising a long fiber of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (A) and a long fiber of a thermoplastic resin (B), the intermediate layer is a spunbonded layer comprising 50% by mass or more of a long fiber of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (a), and a storage elastic modulus of the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (A) and a storage elastic modulus of the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (a) are each independently 25.0 MPa or less.

Protective clothing is described which is not only excellent in wearing comfortability but also suppresses the occurrence of dew condensation even when accouterments are worn, where the protective clothing is coupled with a hood that is composed of a nonwoven fabric having a quantity of ventilation of 20 cm.sup.3/cm.sup.2/sec or more and 150 cm.sup.3/cm.sup.2/sec or less and a nonwoven fabric having a quantity of ventilation of 0 cm.sup.3/cm.sup.2/sec or more and 19 cm.sup.3/cm.sup.2/sec or less, the hood having an opening at a position to be center of a wearer's face and belt-shaped materials at an upper side of the opening and at lower portions of right and left sides of the opening, where the two belt-shaped materials are coupled with or are configured to be couplable with each other at right and left side heads.

A disposable personal protector shield mainly for individuals involved in food preparation in the food service industry, such as all types of restaurants, food trucks, grocery stores and the like. Alternatively, the disposable personal protector shield can be used for painters to be protected from splashes and spills. The disposable personal protector shield provides the user with an easy and convenient application using adhesive tape strip elements around its perimeter which be attached directly to one's garment of skin. In addition, the disposable personal protector shield comprises of an antimicrobial protection coating with antimicrobial properties that protect against growth of viruses, germs, mildew, bacteria and the like. Comprising of a biodegradable material, the disposable personal protector shield can be easily discarded after each use. The overall design provides protection by consisting of a top edge having corresponding edges from which downwardly contoured cut-out sections at the distal point of which the remainder of the body portion extends. The top edge is designed to be placed generally along the collar bone area of user. The cut-out sections are provided to accommodate unimpeded movement of the arms of the user. The remaining body portion is designed to cover the remainder of the torso and upper leg region. Even more so, the functionality of the disposable personal protector shield promotes good hygienic methods and practice for the preparation of food.

A multilayer nonwoven fabric includes an elastic nonwoven fabric comprising an α-olefin copolymer having a ratio of a storage elastic modulus E40 at 40° C. and a storage elastic modulus E23 at 23° C. (E40/E23) is 37% or more, and an extensible spunbonded nonwoven fabric disposed on at least one side of the elastic nonwoven fabric.

This invention relates to modified MOF materials, methods of preparing them and processes using them. A modified MOF of the invention is modified by impregnating a MOF with an inorganic metal salt. The starting MOF contains at least one linker or ligand which contains an aryl amino group as part of its structure. These modified MOFs are able to adsorb either basic or acidic toxic industrial compounds (TIC). The modified MOFs can be used to remove TICs from various gaseous streams such as air.

A disposable highly-protective oral-nasal mask comprises a fixing part. A notch is formed in the portion, corresponding to an oral cavity, of the fixing part. An oral cavity coverage part is arranged at the notch, corresponding to the oral cavity, of the fixing part, and is detachably connected to the fixing part. A first fold part with upward external folds is further arranged on the oral cavity coverage part. A second fold part with downward external folds is arranged on a nasal cavity coverage part. Two easily deformed components are located in accommodating cavities which are formed in the fixing part in one-to-one correspondence with the easily deformed components. Both accommodating cavities are arranged in the length direction of the fixing part. One accommodating cavity is located between the oral cavity coverage part and the nasal cavity coverage part, and the other accommodating cavity is located above the nasal cavity coverage part. As a result, air circulation parts of the oral cavity and a nasal cavity are separated to reduce the air circulation between the oral cavity and the nasal cavity.

The present specification, in some embodiments, describes a personal wear device that direct the flow of air away from a person's face, reducing or blocking the flow of infectious pathogens towards a patient's naso-oral area thus reducing the risk of inhalation of infectious or noxious pathogens. In another embodiment, the present specification describes a personal air management mask system for use by a patient for reducing or preventing exposure to and inhalation of infected aerosol during a medical procedure.
