- asking a question about this kind of personal protective equipment if it is possible
Hello all :
i am asking if there is a class of respiratory protective equipment , that can be installed inside the human body to support the normal PPE and reduce the possibility to getting infected buy some biological agent :
as virus size is between 50 to 160 nm , and the first area of infection is in the upper respiratory area , if we find a way to make the thermal movement of this size of particles or nano grains slower we would be able to lower the rate of infection and lower the rate of interaction between the spike protein and the receptors , of any virus like infection
i was planing to do a research into effecting the surface tension of the upper respiratory tract and creating differential viscosity in it , using some chemical substances that is available
in the market
the list that i was planing to investigate was the following :
the methods are :
preparing a liquid thinfilm that is resembling every component of the upper tract liquid with thickness between 50 nm to few micro meters
study the surface tension and viscosity , of them then dissolve the the materials in it with specific concentration , also in specific depth and see the changes of surface tension on every liquid thin film
then preparing liquid thinfilm that resemble the surfactant with different thickness starting from 50 nm until few micrometer
dissolving the above materials in different samples with different concentrations (and different depth)in combine until we reach the needed thermal speed which will make the virus multiplication (and infection to healthy cells) slow in the upper respiratory tractthis will not means that you can move without a mask but will means that the people who are working in highly infected places will have higher chance not to get infected for example they can use inhaler or tablets to effect their surfactant and then move and intract more freely i didnt do the needed research to publish or to have a paper or a data because i didnt find a supervisor who is interested and because my main field of expertise are in physics and this is more chemistry than physics
the papers that i was planing to read are the following https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3247641/
https://content.sciendo.com/view/journals/acm/12/1/article-p12.xml?language=enhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3055904/
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/1827012_Motion_of_grains_droplets_and_bubbles_in_fluid-filled_nano-pores
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/1944411_Wetting_and_particle_adsorption_in_nanoflows
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/30008880_Numerical_studies_of_thermal_hydrodynamics
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/nl9012369
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2671574/
https://commons.erau.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1013&context=beyond (dont know if it is relevant )
there is also the need for simulation to reduce the needed number of experiments
and i had a main problem of how we can make the effect long enough without harming the person , as the surfactant is dynamic and not static which i couldn't find the answer to or didnt find where should i look for information on the movement profile , thickness changes , ...etc
in few days i will edit this thread and add the list of chemicals that i was suggesting Best Regards
