Ngokwengxelo, nangona imaski yotyando enemigangatho emithathu inokuthintela ukusasazeka kwe-coronavirus entsha kunye nezinye iipathogen ngamathontsi, intsholongwane isenokuphila kumphezulu wayo ukuba ayibulawanga iintsholongwane ngokufanelekileyo okanye ilahlwe ngokufanelekileyo.

UGqr Gareth Cave, ingcali ye-nanotechnology kwiYunivesithi yaseNottingham Trent, wayila i-mask ye-nanoparticle yobhedu ekhethekileyo.Imaski inokubulala ukuya kuthi ga kwi-90% yamasuntswana amatsha e-coronavirus kwiiyure ezisixhenxe.Inkampani kaGqr. Kraft, i-Pharm2Farm, izakuqala ukuvelisa imaski ekupheleni kwale nyanga kwaye iyithengise kwimarike ngoDisemba.

Ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza

I-Copper inezakhiwo ze-antibacterial, kodwa ixesha layo lokulwa ne-antibacteria alide ngokwaneleyo ukunqanda ukusasazeka kwe-coronavirus entsha kuluntu.UDkt. Kraft wasebenzisa ubuchule bakhe kwi-nanotechnology ukunyusa iipropati ze-antiviral zobhedu.Wafaka umaleko wenano yobhedu phakathi kweeleya ezimbini zokucoca kunye neeleya ezimbini ezingangeni manzi.Nje ukuba umaleko we-nano-copper udibane ne-coronavirus entsha, ii-ion zobhedu ziya kukhutshwa.

Kuxelwe ukuba le teknoloji inelungelo elilodwa lomenzi.UGqr. Kraft wathi: “Iimaski esizenzileyo ziye zangqinwa ukuba ziyakwazi ukuyenza ingasebenzi intsholongwane emva kokuba sesichengeni.Iimaski zotyando lwesintu zinokuthintela kuphela intsholongwane ukuba ingangeni okanye itshize ngaphandle.Intsholongwane ayinakubulawa xa ibonakala ngaphakathi kwimaski.Yethu Imaski entsha yokulwa nentsholongwane ijolise ekusebenziseni itekhnoloji yesithintelo esikhoyo kunye ne-nanotechnology ukubambisa intsholongwane kwimaski kwaye iyibulale. ”

UGqr. Kraft uphinde wathi izithintelo zongezwa kumacala omabini e-mask, ngoko ayikhuseli kuphela umntu oyinxibileyo, kodwa kunye nabantu abakujikelezile.Imaski inokubulala intsholongwane xa idibana nayo, nto leyo ethetha ukuba imaski esetyenzisiweyo inokulahlwa ngokukhuselekileyo ngaphandle kokuba ngumthombo onokubakho wongcoliseko.

Dibana nomgangatho we-IIR wohlobo lwemaski

Ngokweengxelo, le maski ye-nanoparticle yobhedu ayiyokuqala ukusebenzisa umaleko wobhedu ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwentsholongwane yesithsaba esitsha, kodwa yibhetshi yokuqala yeemaski ze-nanoparticle zobhedu ezidibana nomgangatho we-IIR wohlobo lwemaski.Iimaski ezihlangabezana nalo mgangatho zinokuqinisekisa ukuba i-99.98% ye-particle matter iyahluzwa.
