Abstract

The present invention relates to a bioactive or real-time and pathogen killing material comprised of a carbon nanostructure (preferably a fullerene but including other functionalized carbon-based nanostructures) that possess potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The present invention relates to the utilization of functionalized carbon nanostructures as a bioactive antimicrobial substance that is incorporated into a material, including a textile, fabric, solution, salve, or cream. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is fullerene derivatives that are chemically functionalized on the cage with a halogen element. The present invention pertains to a material that is suitable for barrier garments, accessory garments (shoe covers, masks, facial visors, etc.), textiles (bed sheets, blankets, towels, personal clothing, gowns, surgical drapes, curtains, drapes, pads, etc.), filtration matrices (for use in hemodialysis, hemofiltration, etc.), or aerosolized solutions, sprays, liquids, salves, or creams. The present invention further relates to a production method thereof.
