Permeable and Semi Permeable Substrate and Substance Patent Summary Abstract:
- ● ?The patent covers a new type of material that can be used in various industries, such as filtration, separation, and controlled release systems.
- ● ?The material is unique because it can be designed to be either permeable or semi-permeable, allowing for selective filtration or diffusion of substances.
- ● ?The primary applications of this material include medical devices, water purification, and even food packaging.
- ● ?This invention addresses the limitations of existing materials by offering customizable permeability, which can be adjusted based on the specific needs of the application.
- ● ?The patent was developed in response to the growing demand for materials that can selectively control the passage of substances.
- ● ?Traditional materials often lack the flexibility to adjust permeability, which can limit their effectiveness in specific applications.
- ● ?For example, in medical devices, it is crucial to control the diffusion of drugs or other substances. Similarly, in water purification, selective filtration is essential to remove contaminants while allowing clean water to pass through.
- ● ?This invention seeks to fill the gap by providing a material that can be tailored to specific permeability requirements, thereby enhancing its functionality across multiple industries.
- ● ?The invention involves a substrate that can be made from various materials, including polymers, ceramics, and composites. The choice of material depends on the intended use of the substrate.
- ● ?The substrate can be engineered to have different levels of permeability, from fully permeable to semi-permeable, by adjusting its structure at the microscopic level.
- ● ?This is achieved through techniques such as altering the pore size, introducing specific chemical treatments, or incorporating additional layers with different properties.
- ● ?The invention also includes a method for producing these substrates, which involves a combination of material selection, structural modification, and surface treatment.
- ● ?The versatility of this invention lies in its ability to be customized for a wide range of applications, making it a significant advancement over existing technologies.
- ● ?The substrate's permeability is controlled by its internal structure, which can be modified using various methods:
- ● ?The material's flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- ● ?The invention also includes specific examples of how the substrate can be manufactured:
○ Example 1: A polymer-based substrate is created with varying pore sizes for use in a water filter. The material is treated with a hydrophilic coating to enhance water permeability while blocking contaminants.
○ Example 2: A ceramic substrate is produced with a semi-permeable structure, suitable for use in a medical device. The material is layered with a drug-absorbing polymer that controls the release of medication over time.
● The patent emphasizes the substrate's ability to be customized for different uses, highlighting its potential across multiple industries.
