A polymeric body covering article that generates and releases gas upon activation by electromagnetic energy and/or moisture. The gas provides antimicrobial and/or antiodor protection to objects in contact or in proximity to the interior surface of the article and/or to objects in contact or in proximity to the exterior surface of the article.

Antimicrobial body covering articles

A composition for energy-controlled generation and release of at least one gas, which includes an energy-activated catalyst capable of being activated by electromagnetic energy, and a solid or a liquid containing anions capable of being oxidized by the activated catalyst or reacted with species generated during activation of the catalyst to generate at least one gas. The composition, when exposed to electromagnetic energy, is capable of generating and releasing the gas after activation of the catalyst and oxidation or reaction of the anions.

Energy-activated compositions for controlled sustained release of a gas

A particle including anions dispersed throughout an amorohous, paracrystalline or crystalline solid solution, the anions being capable of reacting with hydronioum ions to generated a gas. The particle can be incorporated into a power capable of generating and releasing a gas after hydrolysis of an acid releasing agent.

Silicate-containing powders providing controlled, sustained gas release

A particle including anions dispersed throughout an amorphous, paracrystalline or crystalline solid solution, the anions being capable of reacting with hydronium ions to generate a gas. The particle can be incorporated into a powder capable of generating and releasing a gas after hydrolysis of an acid releasing agent.

A composite for retarding microbiological contamination containing a hydrophobic material containing an acid releasing agent, and a hydrophilic material containing anions that are capable of reacting with hydronium ions to generate a gas. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials are adjacent and substantially free of water, and the hydrophilic material is capable of generating and releasing the gas after hydrolysis of the acid releasing agent.

Compositions for sustained release of a gas

A method of retarding bacterial, fungal, and viral contamination and growth of molds on the surface of a material and/or deodorizing the material by treating a surface with a composite which does not release chlorine dioxide in the absence of moisture, and exposing the treated surface to moisture to release chlorine dioxide from the composite into the atmosphere surrounding the material.

Methods of deodorizing and retarding contamination or mold growth using

A powder for sustained release of a gas including a core containing a molecular sieve, and a layer containing an acid releasing agent on an outer surface of the core. The core and the layer are substantially free of water, and the core is capable of generating and releasing a gas after hydrolysis of the acid releasing agent.

Powders providing controlled sustained release of a gas

A composition for retarding bacterial, fungal and viral contamination and mold growth containing an acid releasing polymer, a hydrophilic material, and chlorite anions. Each component of the composition has a particle size of not more than about 1,000 angstroms. The composition is substantially free of water and capable of releasing chlorine dioxide upon hydrolysis of the acid releasing polymer.

Sustained release, transparent biocidal compositions

A powder for sustained release of a gas including a hydrophilic core, a hydrophobic layer on an outer surface of the hydrophilic core, and particles in contact with the hydrophobic layer. The hydrophobic layer contains an acid releasing agent. The particles contain an anhydrous material capable of binding with water. The core, the particles, and the hydrophobic layer are substantially free of water, and the core is capable of generating and releasing a gas after hydrolysis of the acid releasing agent.

Sustained release biocidal powders

An anhydrous solid water-soluble composition and method for direct controlled administration of beneficial agents to a flowing medical fluid. The beneficial agents are geometrically dispersed in a solid matrix and isolated from one and other to allow administration of mutually reactive agents.

Method and composition for administration of beneficial agent by

A packaging material composed of cellulosic fiber, a softener, water, and, optionally, a water soluble binder. The biodegradable packaging material is prepared by a process of admixing cellulosic fiber, a softener, water and, optionally, a water soluble binder to form a slurry, and admixing a blowing agent with the slurry to form a pulp. The pulp is formed into a shaped material and dried.
