Researchers have invented a prototype new form of high-performance air purifier that promises zero harmful waste and is 99.999% efficient in removing common bacteria and viruses
New purifier and filtering foam invented by University of Bath engineers is ready for commercialisation, seeking partners
The innovative foam comprises of high temperature polymer and active media such as selective adsorbents to capture contaminants and antibacterial agents to combat microbes. It is mouldable and lightweight, energy-efficient and anti-bacterial, and the addition of active metals into the structure makes it 99.999% efficient in removing common bacteria and viruses. It also boasts a tailorable composition that allows for targeted capture of a wide range of small to large VOCs – some of which are responsible for unpleasant smells, while others can be harmful to human health – and high-performance removal of CO2.
