A high-adsorption-performance nanofiber filter medium includes a support material and a composite nanofiber filtration layer that includes multiple nanometer composite nanofiber layers deposited and stacked on the support material. The nanometer composite nanofiber layer includes first, second, and third nano-powder composite nanofibers, which are uniformly mixed by means of an airflow or are sequentially laminated to form the nanometer composite nanofiber layer. The nanometer composite nanofiber layer formed through sequential lamination includes first, second, and third nanofiber layers. The first nanofiber layer includes multiple first nano-powder composite nanofibers. The second nanofiber layer is stacked on the first nanofiber layer and includes multiple second nano-powder composite nanofibers. The third nanofiber layer is stacked on the second nanofiber layer and includes multiple third nano-powder composite nanofibers. The composite nanofiber filtration layer is formed of multiple nanometer composite nanofiber layers, so that the high-adsorption-performance nanofiber air filter medium shows improved performance.

The present invention relates to a filter comprising a self-supporting body of non-woven carbon nanotubes useful in the sequestration of an airborne virus.

An embodiment is an article configured to inhibit or prevent pathogen growth. The article includes an inner layer configured to face a wearer's skin when the face covering article is applied to the face of the wearer; a middle layer adjacent to the inner layer; and an outer protection layer adjacent to the middle layer and opposite the inner layer and comprising a substrate and metal particles in the substrate, wherein the metal particles are configured to inhibit or prevent pathogen growth.

A filter holder for liposome extrusion includes a housing having an inlet configured to receive a material to be extruded and an outlet, and a filter support member disposed within the housing between the inlet and the outlet. The filter support member includes an upstream side having a filter support surface configured to support a membrane filter assembly, a downstream side opposite the upstream side, and a plurality of passages extending through the filter support member from the filter support surface to the downstream side. The filter holder also includes an outlet cavity in fluid communication with the outlet, and the filter holder is configured such that the material to be extruded flows through the membrane filter assembly and into the outlet cavity via the plurality of passages before being discharged through the outlet.

The invention provides a respirator mask comprising a filter material piece made from an air-permeable material and at least one securing band, wherein the air-permeable material comprises at least one layer of a non-woven biodegradable material, wherein the at least one securing band is designed for securing the respirator mask to the head.

The invention provides a respirator mask comprising a filter material piece made of an air-permeable material and at least one securing band, wherein the air-permeable material comprises at least one layer of a non-woven fabric comprising or consisting of fibres formed from one or more recycled plastic materials, and wherein the at least one securing band is designed for securing the respirator mask to the head.

The invention provides a respirator mask comprising a filter material piece made of an air-permeable material and at least one securing band, wherein the air-permeable material comprises at least one layer of a non-woven fabric and the layer of a non-woven fabric is creped, and wherein the at least one securing band is designed for securing the respirator mask to the head.

An air-permeable filter material that includes a polymeric aerogel having a polymeric matrix comprising an open-cell structure is disclosed. The air-permeable filter material can be included in a mask, which can be configured to be placed over a user's mouth and/or nose. The mask can include at least one layer of the air-permeable filter material and is positioned such that inhaled and/or exhaled air of the user passes through the filter material.

Provided is an antiviral filter medium. An antiviral filter medium according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first member provided with an antiviral coating layer formed of fibers and including, on part or all of the outer surface of the fibers, an antiviral fusion protein in which an antiviral motif is bound to an adhesive protein. Accordingly, the antiviral filter medium exhibits antiviral properties, is excellent in filtration efficiency and ventilation amount (or flow rate), and has low pressure loss. In addition, the antiviral filter medium is characterized in that the coating layer exhibiting antiviral properties retains adhesiveness for a long period of time after being attached to the surface. Moreover, the antiviral filter medium can retain antiviral activity for a long time without loss of the antiviral activity due to external conditions during production, storage, and use.

A multi-layered filter medium with a densified layer made of synthetic fibers is useful for filtering liquids. A method for its production involves providing multiple layers, densifying a layer, and joining the multiple layers.
