Abstract
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into rayon is disclosed which has a quantity of rayon, a quantity of zinc oxide particles with each particle having a surface, and a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group for incorporating the quantity of zinc oxide particles into the quantity of rayon prior to the quantity of rayon being formed into a fiber.
Claims20
A product having ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection comprising:
- a quantity of rayon;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles with each particle having a surface;
- and
- a quantity of a reactive group for modifying each surface of each zinc oxide particle, the quantity of the reactive group for incorporating the quantity of zinc oxide particles into the quantity of rayon prior to the quantity of rayon being formed into a fiber.
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into rayon prior to the rayon being formed by use of a spinneret comprising:
- a quantity of rayon;
- a quantity of zinc oxide particles;
- and
- a quantity of a phosphoether of 4-hydroxybenzophenone.
A product for incorporating ultraviolet radiation protection and antimicrobial protection into rayon prior to forming rayon comprising:
- a quantity of rayon;
- and
- a quantity of prepared zinc oxide particles modified with a layer of a reactive group that forms a bond with the quantity of rayon with the quantity of prepared zinc oxide particles prepared by suspending a quantity of zinc oxide particles in a solution of 98% ethyl alcohol, suspending a quantity of benzophenone silane linker in the solution of zinc oxide particles and 98% ethyl alcohol, adjusting the pH of the solution of zinc oxide particles, 98% ethyl alcohol, and benzophenone silane linker to 12, placing the pH adjusted solution of zinc oxide particles, 98% ethyl alcohol, and benzophenone silane linker into a centrifuge, recovering the zinc oxide particles prepared by centrifugation after a period of time, and drying the recovered prepared zinc oxide particles for a period of time.
