      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              Polymer Fibers that things are made from could have continuous laser engraving       of bacteriocidal and possibly viricidal micro and nano surface form and       texture produced when the polymer fiber leaves the nozzle, washcloths, pillows       and pillowcases, laser        etched entire washing sponges including dish sponges, menstrual tampons or       pads, surgical suture thread, a variety of body implants like metal or ceramic       joints, phone cases and nondisplay areas of the phone, video game controller       surfaces and buttons,        bandages and bandaids, mops, and sponge mops, also it's just remotely possible       that directing an air jet onto a bacteriocidal, possibly fungicidal, possibly       viricidal texture geometry plate sterilizers decreases potential illness       causing organism at any        building ventilation system, including buildings where clients face risk like       elder are establishments, hospitals, and just possibly K-12 school buildings       as well as passenger airplanes               I have not looked it up, but it's possible there are fungicidal texture       geometries, one possible viricidal surface texture is nanometer sized       geometry, combined with either a piezo vibrator at the geometrically textured       object, or directly attached to an        electricity source that could effect viruses, published piezo positioners work       at picometers to nanometers suggesting a viricidal piezo oscillation of a       researched surface geometry and texture surface could be beneficial at       viricidal technology objects        among them hvac applications like medical environments and offices including       surgery suites, or also eldercare facilities, and passenger airplanes              Electrostatic coal plant exhaust filters already exist, it might work to have       sheet lasers nano or micro engrave computer optimized and human cognitively       constructed micro and nano textured surfaces, these surfaces could double or       higher the surface area        of charge planes or plates at electrostatic coal power plant exhaust       scrubbers, possibly with some particular geometry texture especially effective       at removing the particulates with the greatest potential to cause illness, i       perceive I read that is pm2.5        and eentsier, it could be possible to make the coal exhaust scrubber geometry       texture very cheaply with press molding of the electrostatic coal scrubber       surface              Silicone impression molding can take on the contours of DNA strands, it seems       possible to duplicate and outperform micro and nano geometry antibacterial       effects of wood food preparation objects, very cheap silicone molds or       rollers could make multitudes        of antibacterial and possibly antiviral mini circles to neutralize and reduce       transmission of infective materials reducing disease              It is a published technology that nanometer sized silicone molds of proteins       can be administered as actual polymer particles to immunize against that       protein, a different thing is Aptamer glomming peptide nano silicone molds, or       computer generated        impression molds and the mass produced pressed materials surfaces they cheaply       make could be antiviral surfaces at a variety of objects as well as hvac       antiviral technologies,               Artificial zeolites are used at the chemical process industries including       gasoline and other liquid fuel producing processes, noting that high magnetic       fields are published at effecting crystallization and crystal form of the       crystals grown, bulk        synthesizing zeolite in a high magnetic field could effect channel diameter       and crystalline form of the mass produced zeolite catalyst, researchers and       technologists would find optimal zeolite channel diameters and even perhaps       buckled or flexion curve        variations on which of the particular element atoms of a zeolite structure are       most crinkle peak element prominent that faces a channel at the zeolite to       produce the most effective zeolite catalysts                                           Fomite and palm and fingers antibacterial and possibly antiviral surface       texture geometry is beneficial, if 1/10th of infectious illness comes from       touching fomites and perhaps most illness among people comes from respiratory       transmission and voluntary        touch transmission then 8 billion people, 2 common colds a year, so 1.6       billion fewer infections, common colds, influenza and pneumonia occurrences       annually from geometry texturing surfaces that decrease fomite transmitted       illnesses, if there is a 1 per        1111 fomite transmitted illness that makes a person stop living, then about       1.4 million lives get to keep being alive each year, it is unlikely that       people would do it, but a geometry texture hand lotion or keratin reactive       geometry texture month lasting        or longer coating could decrease illness transmission from physical contact,       keeping another 1.4 million people alive causing 2.8 million people to stay       alive each year even if global participation varies that would be 700K more       people alive each year              Antibacterial and antiviral geometric micro or nanotexturing might prevent       illnesses transmitted through human touch, possible forms are toys shared       among relatives, pre-K and kindergarten shared toys              Non hormonal protein or peptide based voluntary contraceptive              [continued
