Button for fastening fabrics, for instance clothing, wherein the button comprises a body and is provided with attachment means at a central location of the body, arranged for attaching, for instance by sewing, the button to a fabric, wherein the body of the button has a tapering width, seen in a direction parallel to the plane of the lower surface of the body, wherein the button is further provided with attachment means at or near the circumferential edge of the body and wherein the width of the body tapers towards the location of the attachment means at or near the edge.

A detachable button system has a fixed component permanently attached to a garment and a detachable button component. The fixed component a disc-shaped base and a cylinder extending perpendicularly from said base, said cylinder featuring a plurality of tabs projecting perpendicularly from the cylinder and parallel to the base. The detachable portion had an interior cavity for receiving the cylinder, the interior cavity including a plurality of slots corresponding to the plurality of tabs, the slots receiving said tabs. The tabs vary across their width so as to provide a friction fit when the cylinder of the fixed component is inserted into the internal cavity of the detachable component and the detachable component is rotated.

An antibacterial composition is formed from a polymer matrix that includes silver nanoparticles. The antibacterial composition can be used to provide surfaces that are to be touched. The antibacterial composition is particularly useful for forming cases for handheld electronic devices such as mobile telephones, smartphones, tablet computers, remote controls, and game controllers. A method of manufacturing items formed the composition can create materials with homogenously dispersed silver nanoparticles. Another process can be used to add antibacterial properties to existing surfaces.
