Claims17
A method for inactivating SARS-Cov-2 virus, the method comprising contacting the SARS-Cov-2 virus with an object comprising silicon nitride and/or aluminum nitride, wherein the silicon nitride or aluminum nitride successively binds and inactivates the virus.
A method for inactivating SARS-Cov-2 virus, the method comprising contacting the SARS-Cov-2 virus with a composition comprising silicon nitride or aluminum nitride, wherein the silicon nitride and/or aluminum nitride successively binds and inactivates the virus.
An article of personal protective equipment (PPE) having antiviral and antimicrobial properties, the article comprising silicon nitride or aluminum nitride embedded in or coated onto a surface of the article, wherein the silicon nitride or aluminum nitride is operable to successively bind and inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
