Under the epidemic, a mask and a door handle seem to be just a small part of life, but they are actually the key to affecting the health of citizens. Many technology companies focus on the research and development of different antibacterial and antivirus technologies, and work together to make everyone feel more at ease in their daily lives.

Scientific research technology is epoch-making. The Hong Kong Science Park goes hand in hand with the people of Hong Kong. research. "Keywords" video series, 8 consecutive episodes, based on the three themes of "protecting the body and mind spreading love", "science and technology to improve the national health index" and "biological research innovation and discovery" show that the research and development achievements in the science park bring unexpected breakthroughs and improvements No matter from the living environment, disease detection, invention of innovative drugs, etc., we will comprehensively take care of public health and benefit society through scientific research. Many details of daily life affect the level of hygiene and the health of everyone. In the third episode, I will take you to the Science Park to take a closer look at the latest antibacterial technologies that can be applied to every aspect of life.
Established in 2016, Senbao Technology is a breeding company under the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Technology Pioneering Incubation Program. It has been focusing on research and development of practical nanotechnology and advanced functional materials. These product features include fluorine-free waterproof, self-cleaning, breathable and moisture-permeable, unidirectional Perspiration, light sterilization, etc. are widely used in textiles, leather, household and public health. In 2019, the company saw a huge amount of medical grade masks, so it decided to try to apply related technologies to masks, and developed a "light self-cleaning antibacterial anti-virus mask", positioning the product as "home life mask", hoping to relieve medical grade Consumption of masks enables ordinary citizens and medical care to have their own equipment to fight the epidemic.
The research and development aim is to reduce the consumption of medical grade masks.
Co-Founder Gao Weichen and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Haifeng Lu said, "Light Self-Cleaning Technology" is one of the company's patented technologies, which is usually used in textiles, footwear, especially sports uppers and outdoor clothing, and Some types of clothes that are inconvenient to wash. The principle is that after spraying the nano-light self-cleaning liquid on the cloth, it can achieve sterilization, anti-virus, and deodorizing effects under natural or indoor light. "It can even decompose indoor harmful gases such as volatile organic compounds, odor or formaldehyde. It can also be decomposed and removed. "The mask is made of natural bamboo fiber material and integrated with digital knitting. It can be reused or washed; the inner layer is completed with a PM0.3 filter. The mask yarn used is natural bamboo fiber, which can be naturally decomposed without affecting the environment. Equipped with a light self-cleaning nano spray, the mask can be illuminated by sunlight or indoor lights to achieve further self-cleaning functions such as sterilization, anti-virus, and deodorization. The two are used alternately, which is safe and convenient.
The mask is equipped with a light self-cleaning nano spray, which can realize self-cleaning functions such as further sterilization, anti-virus, and deodorization through light.
The masks are made of natural bamboo fiber materials and integrated into digital knitting, which can be reused or washed.
Everyone wears a mask. The purpose is of course to prevent virus and bacteria from invading. However, in and out, you often need to push the door with your hand. The hands are the most contaminated parts. Although you are advised to wash your hands frequently, everyone also has it with them. Alcoholic hand sanitizer, but there are still some risks. Imagine if the door handle itself is already sterile and non-toxic, the protection for everyone is naturally greater. Huang Shenming and Li Jianbang invented the "self-cleaning door handle" combining photocatalyst coating and backlight technology in 2015 and won a number of international invention awards. The two established Titanium Technology in 2017 and joined the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park incubation program in 2018.
The two have developed the "self-cleaning door handle" 5 years ago and have won several international invention awards.
"We make photocatalysts with nano-coatings and apply them on the surface of door handles. When the nano-coatings of door handles absorb light, they can activate the nano-coatings to achieve automatic sterilization and disinfection." Huang Shenming said that under light conditions, regardless of indoors Light or natural light can achieve catalytic decomposition, decomposing bacteria, including virus microorganisms, into water and carbon dioxide release. Unlike spraying traditional disinfectants on door handles, the effect of "self-cleaning door handles" will not be consumed with disinfection and sterilization, and the coating will not fall off easily. This technology is suitable for long-term epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic in public places, and self-cleaning door handles have also been applied in some facilities in science and technology parks.
After exposure to light, the nano-coating can be activated for automatic sterilization.
The antibacterial and antivirus effect of the coating can be maintained for years, and it is not easy to peel off.
In order to fight the epidemic, Titanium Technology has developed a new product that twists the door lock from a vertical door handle to a photocatalyst, hoping to help the public reduce the risk of being attacked by bacteria and viruses. The research of the two companies may not be significant in the eyes of some people, but the meticulousness in it has really benefited humanity. Working together and exerting ideas in a people-oriented spirit is what makes scientific research great.
