A porous silica having at least one metal X selected from the group consisting of Mn, Cu and Fe.

The present invention relates a deodorizing catalyst including a copper-manganese-based composite oxide, zeolite, and activated carbon.

A deodorizing composition includes cucurbituril and one or more first metal salts, the first metal salt including at least one metal cation with a valency of at least two and at least one anion, wherein the metal cation is selected from the group made of aluminium, zirconium, silver, titanium, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium cations.

The invention relates to treated cellulosic fibers comprising internally dispersed cuprous oxide (Cu.sub.2O) nanoparticles, methods of preparing such treated cellulosic fibers, and uses of such treated cellulosic fibers.

An anti-microbial metal coating may be applied to filter membranes for use in actively depressing microbial viability in filtration applications. The anti-microbial metal coating may be applied to substrates that are considered to be sensitive to damage by conventional metal coating techniques or resistant to metal bonding. The coating may be applied from a salt absorbed to the substrate in solution, converted to a reducible form with a conversion agent, and reduced to active metal format through a low temperature plasma treatment.

Provided is a storage device including a storage body for holding a liquid, a gas or an item, which has a first wall, a second wall, and a magnetic closure device for closing the storage body, which has a first closure part and a second closure part. The first closure part has a first strip body elongate along a transverse direction and is arranged on a first closing portion of the first wall. The second closure part has a second strip body elongate along a transverse direction and is arranged on a second closing portion of the second wall. The first closure part and the second closure part cooperate in a magnetically attracting manner. At least one of the first wall, the second wall, the first strip body and the second strip body are wholly or partly fabricated from a composition containing an antimicrobially active additive.

A process is described utilizing a composition of nano particles to form a foam and applying the foam to a surface to be disinfected.

A chair for particular use in clinical or hospital environments has a frame to which a support material is secured. The support material may form a chair back and/or a seat for the chair to provide support to the chair occupant. The support material may be made from a textile of interwoven strands wherein some of the interwoven strands include copper containing particles, such as copper iodide or copper oxide within the textile fibers.

The present invention is a viral disinfectant apparatus for conveniently providing a method of preventing viruses from coming in contact with a user's hands. In particular, the invention allows a user to conveniently install and remove the apparatus to a shopping cart while in public spaces. The proposed embodiment provides a unique experience for a user by providing a safe experience for the general public.

A combination of nanoparticles applied onto a mask filtration system, exemplarily including 1%-10% graphene; 1%-10% titanium dioxide; 1%-10% zinc oxide; 1%-10% copper oxide; 1%-10% silicon dioxide; and balance solvent is provided.
