According to foreign media, a research team of a Brazilian start-up has recently developed a new textile material that can eliminate COVID-19 on its surface in just two minutes, with high efficiency
Up to 99.9%, or can be used to manufacture medical masks and protective clothing.
According to the Buenos Aires Economic News Network on June 17th, researchers from the Biomedical Science Institute of the University of S ã o Paulo in Brazil are studying at the University of Haime I in Spain
With the support of scientists, a new textile material has been developed that blends polyester fibers and cotton fabrics impregnated with two different types of silver particles.
This project was developed by a technology startup founded by researchers from the University of S ã o Paulo. Researchers from a functional materials research and development center in S ã o Paulo also participated in the project.
This startup company named Nanox is committed to developing antibacterial fabrics and fungicides, and this newly developed material will be used to manufacture medical masks and protective clothing.
Nanox manager Luis Gustavo Pagoto Simmons said, "We have applied for a patent for this technology and are currently working with two Brazilian textile companies."
Negotiation. Once the agreement is reached, these two companies will use this technology to manufacture medical masks and protective clothing.
According to the report, the test results conducted by researchers showed that only two minutes after organic matter contaminated its surface, this fabric soaked in silver particles can inactivate 99.9% of the virus.
Lucio Freitas Juniol, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo and one of the leaders of the study, said: "The COVID-19 that we used to pollute fabrics in the process of testing
The number of miles is much higher than the number of viruses in the environment where medical masks are used. Even in this situation, this new material can efficiently remove viruses
Researchers are still testing the duration of the antiviral effect of this fabric. The antibacterial ability of other materials previously developed by the company can last up to 30 washes.
Simmons said: "This kind of fabric is the first research and development achievement of using silver particles to inactivate COVID-19, and we will soon develop more kinds of anti-virus fabrics."
