A method of preparing a modified-metal surface. The method includes preparing a solution of a phosphorous-based acid in a solvent; immersing a strip of the metal work piece into the solution of the phosphorous-based acid; immersing a strip of a reference metal into the solution of the phosphorous-based acid; supplying a voltage for a duration of time to prepare a phosphorous acid-modified metal work piece; removing the phosphorous acid-modified metal work piece; cleaning and drying the phosphorous acid-modified metal work piece; applying a chitosan solution to the surface in order to attach chitosan/modified chitosan to the phosphorous acid based modified surface; prepare the modified-metal surface; and cleaning and drying the modified-metal surface.

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.

The present disclosure is directed to insect-resistant fabrics or garments and methods for making the same. The insect-resistant fabrics or garments include an insect repelling composition containing a micellar system and optionally an insecticide composition. As an example, an insect-resistant fabric in accordance with the disclosure can include a base fabric (e.g., polyester) having been treated to include an insect repellant composition containing a micellar system. The micellar system may include one or more insect repelling agents (e.g., essential oils) contained within one or more micelles (e.g., saponins) in a first region of the fabric, and optionally an insecticide (e.g., permethrin) in second region of the base fabric. The inclusion of a micellar system in an insect repellant composition is shown herein to provide improved insect-resistant efficacy. Additionally, certain insect-resistant fabrics disclosed herein can also demonstrate durability when exposed to wear such as laundering the garment.

Athletic footwear often emits unpleasant odors after being used. As a result, athletic footwear is sometimes placed in a separate shoe bag with the purpose of carrying the footwear in isolation. However, current bags for athletic footwear have little to no effect on absorbing or neutralizing unpleasant odors, they merely contain the odor. The presently disclosed technology provides a space effective, odor-combatting athletic shoe bag.
