Various embodiments for antipathogenic devices and methods thereof for antifungal applications are disclosed herein.

Antipathogenic devices and methods thereof for antifungal applications

Described herein is an antiviral face mask and methods of use thereof to inactivate a virus in contact with the face mask. The face mask may include a fibrous material with silicon nitride powder impregnated therein and a layer surrounding the fibrous material. In some embodiments, silicon nitride is present in the fibrous material at a concentration of about 30 wt. % to about 50 wt. %.

Antipathogenic fibrous material

Disclosed herein are methods for laser cladding a coating the surface of a biomedical implant. The biomedical implant may be an implant with a laser-cladded silicon nitride coating for promoting osteogenesis.

Methods of silicon nitride laser cladding

Disclosed herein are methods for functionalizing the surface of a biomedical implant. The biomedical implant may be a zirconia-toughened alumina implant surface functionalized with silicon nitride powder for promoting osteogenesis.

Methods of surface functionalization of zirconia-toughened alumina with silicon nitride

Disclosed herein are compositions, devices and methods for inactivating viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The compositions, methods, and devices may include coatings or slurries such as silicon nitride powder coatings or slurries for the inactivation of viruses, bacteria, and/or fungi.

Antipathogenic devices and methods thereof

Described herein is an antiviral face mask and methods of use thereof to inactivate a virus in contact with the face mask. The face mask may include a fibrous material with silicon nitride powder impregnated therein and a layer surrounding the fibrous material. In some embodiments, silicon nitride is present in the fibrous material at a concentration of about 1 wt. % to about 15 wt. %.

Antipathogenic face mask

Described herein are antiviral compositions and apparatuses and methods of use thereof to inactivate a virus in contact with the composition or apparatus. The composition and/or apparatus include silicon nitride at a concentration of 1 wt. % to 15 wt. % and the silicon nitride inactivates at least 85% of the virus in contact with the composition and/or apparatus.

Antiviral compositions and devices and methods of use thereof

Various embodiments related to systems, methods, and articles for rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by silicon nitride and aluminum nitride are disclosed herein.

Systems and methods for rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by silicon nitride and aluminum nitride

Disclosed herein are antifungal composites, devices, and methods to reduce or prevent a fungus from growing on the antifungal composite. The antifungal composite and devices thereof may include a biocompatible polymer and a SiNpowder loaded in at least a portion of the biocompatible polymer. The polymer may be a thermoplastic polymer such as a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin and the SiNpowder may be present in a concentration of about 1 vol. % to about 30 vol. % in the thermoplastic polymer.
