Abstract
A static dissipative single use glove having a vertical resistivity of less than or equal to about 108 Ohm when determined according to EN 1149-2 and surface resistivity of less than or equal to about 106 Ohm when determined according to EN 1149-1, which includes a polymeric layer comprising conductive filler particles. A method to produce the single use glove is also disclosed.
Claims20
A portable electric power generation apparatus, comprising:
- a housing having a plurality of sides, one of more of the sides having a plurality of fenestrations disposed therethrough,
- the housing surrounding a cathode, the cathode at least partially surrounding, and spaced apart from an anode, forming a liquid reservoir between an inner water impermeable side of the cathode and the anode,
- wherein the anode comprises a Group 1, 2, 12 or 13 metal;
- wherein the cathode comprises a Group 8-11 metal, and/or carbon electrode disposed between the inner water impermeable side and an outer semipermeable membrane;
- wherein the metal electrode is in fluid communication with an external atmosphere through the semipermeable membrane through the plurality of fenestrations;
- wherein the semipermeable membrane is in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir such that a liquid disposed within the liquid reservoir provides fluid communication between the anode and the metal electrode;
- wherein the liquid reservoir is in fluid communication with the external atmosphere through a re-closable opening of the housing,
- wherein the anode and the metal electrode are in electrical communication with a power outlet;
- and
- wherein the housing further comprises a resealable opening, through which the liquid reservoir may be emptied and the anode replaced.

A method of generating power, comprising:
- Directing an aqueous liquid through a re-closable opening in a housing of a portable electrical power generation apparatus into a liquid reservoir, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of sides, one of more of the sides having a plurality of fenestrations disposed therethrough,
- the housing surrounding a cathode, the cathode at least partially surrounding, and spaced apart from an anode, forming the liquid reservoir between an inner water impermeable side of the cathode and the anode,
- wherein the anode comprises a Group 1, 2, 12 or 13 metal;
- wherein the cathode comprises a Group 8-11 metal, and/or carbon electrode disposed between the inner water impermeable side and an outer semipermeable membrane;
- wherein the metal electrode is in fluid communication with an external atmosphere through the semipermeable membrane through the plurality of fenestrations;
- wherein the semipermeable membrane is in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir such that the liquid disposed within the liquid reservoir provides fluid communication between the anode and the metal electrode;
- and
- wherein the anode and the metal electrode are in electrical communication with a power outlet.
