Definitions
- Composite membrane comprising a fluoropolymer or silicone surface layer comprising silver, its manufacturing process and its use as a virucide
- the invention relates to the field of composite membranes, more specifically fabrics impregnated or coated with non-stick hydrophobic polymers with low surface energy, typically used as furniture coverings, for example seat coverings, protective tarpaulins or elements of modular structures
- the invention relates more particularly to a novel composite membrane structure which has both an antiviral action, a good 'cleanability' by the solvents and antiseptics commonly used, typically isopropanol, a good abrasion resistance, a good aptitude. to be assembled either by adding filler strips or by a standard welding process, and good fire resistance. It can be used in the medical environment or for health reasons.
- silver for example in the form of particles of nanometric size (or nanoparticles)
- silver nanoparticles are used in dressings where they have been coated by impregnation, or are dispersed in polymers molded into blocks constituting all or part of medical devices which are for example catheters or orthopedic implants, any particularly to limit the formation of pathogenic biofilm (as described for example in US 9625065).
- textiles such as surgical drapes, masks or surgical drapes can also contain silver nanoparticles, deposited by impregnation and present at the heart of the material.
- these textile articles are not waterproof or easily assembled, for example by welding.
- Silver is therefore commonly used for its bactericidal properties. However, it was very recently observed that silver also has antiviral properties (Thesis n ° 120,
- bacteria and viruses are different entities, whether by size (viruses have on average a size about a thousand times smaller than that of bacteria which have a size of about 1 mhi), by structure (the virus is considered a biological entity and the bacterium is a living organism), or through genetic material (bacteria are prokaryotes with DNA and RNA; viruses have only one of these acids) .
- US 2016/184874 describes a fabric covered with a polymer layer, the use of this fabric, as well as a process for its manufacture.
- the polymer can be a fluoropolymer or a polysiloxane (paragraph [0027]).
- the polymer layer contains silver nanoparticles.
- the process for preparing this fabric includes a step of applying the polymer to the fabric (paragraph [0037]), for example by lamination or impregnation (paragraph [0039]).
- the antimicrobial effect of this fabric is attributed to silver nanoparticles, the size of which is preferably less than 100 nm (paragraphs [0042] to [0044]).
- the thickness of the polymer layer is 100 to 500 ⁇ m, preferably 150 to 450 mhi, even more preferably 200 to 400 mhi (paragraph [0036)), which is high.
- the invention therefore consists in providing a composite membrane having an antiviral action, as well as a method of manufacturing such a membrane.
- the invention relates to a composite membrane comprising at least one fabric, said membrane comprising a surface polymer layer, said surface polymer layer comprising silver and at least one polymer chosen from fluoropolymers and silicones, and said membrane being such that the silver (4; 40) is in the form of silver supported by a mineral matrix in powder form, the particle size of the matrix being and strictly greater than 0.1 mhi and strictly less than 20 pm.
- the polymer of the surface polymer layer consists of a fluoropolymer or a silicone.
- the membrane may further comprise at least one intermediate polymer layer, for example a layer of polyurethane or a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a layer of silicone or a layer of fluoropolymer, the surface polymer layer. being present at least in part on the intermediate polymeric layer furthest from the fabric, which preferably comprises the same polymer as the polymeric surface layer.
- the surface polymer layer is therefore the layer of the composite membrane in contact with the outside, furthest from the fabric.
- One or more intermediate polymer layers can be deposited on each side of the membrane without one side necessarily being coated with the same number of intermediate polymer layers and the same nature and thickness of layer (s) as the other corresponding side.
- the mass content of silver in the polymer layer is in the range 0.00001 to 10%, preferably 0.0005 to 5%, even more preferably 0.001 to 3% (by weight%).
- silver is actively antiviral in its smallest more or less associated elemental size, that this associated elemental form occurs in the form of very small colloidal-like particles called nanoparticles (in which case the medium dispersion of silver is water), or else dissolved in an aqueous medium, or inserted into mineral matrices with a particle size of the order of micrometers (which makes it possible to handle it in powder form, which can be used in solvents).
- the silver thus introduced into a surface polymer layer confers antiviral activity on the composite membrane, while maintaining its usual properties, that is to say resistance to cleaning by most of the antiseptics used in the sanitary fields.
- composite membrane thus has an advantageous lifetime.
- Another of the advantages of the invention is that the composite membrane can be easily assembled with another membrane, generally composite, either by filler strip or by welding, typically by heat-sealing, without losing the antiviral properties. This allows modular assembly of the composite membranes according to the invention according to the needs of the end user, which is particularly valuable.
- the main methods of assembling composite membranes are welds such as hot air assemblies, high frequency assemblies, thermal assemblies and ultrasonic assemblies; and assemblies by filler band. All these assembly methods can be carried out on the composite membrane of the invention without the latter losing its antiviral action.
- the composite membrane according to the invention makes it possible to deactivate the viruses in the environments used or inhabited by humans, by an antiviral function, that is to say which destroys the viruses by surface contact, in the absence of any human cleaning intervention, in just a few minutes of contact.
- the fabric is chosen from wovens, nonwovens, grids, knits, and mixtures thereof, preferably from wovens and nonwovens.

- the fabric is a polyester woven or nonwoven, typically a high tenacity polyester.
- the surface polymer layer has been deposited by impregnation, typically by padding.
- the composite membrane does not include an intermediate polymer layer, although the presence of at least one intermediate polymer layer is not excluded according to the invention.
- the surface polymer layer then has an average thickness in the range of 5 to 100 ⁇ m, preferably 5 to 80 ⁇ m, even more preferably 5 to 50 ⁇ m.
- the surface polymer layer has been deposited by coating, typically by deposition by doctor blade on a cylinder (“roll coat” or other) or by varnishing. In this case, it is preferred that the composite membrane comprises at least one intermediate polymeric layer.
- the surface polymer layer then has an average thickness of in the range of 0.5 to 20 mhi, preferably from 1 to 12 ⁇ m, even more preferably from 2 to 10 mhi.
- the average thickness is between 4 and 8mhi.
- the thickness can vary from one point to another of the surface polymer layer, typically by + or - 3 mhi.
- the polymeric intermediate layer can also contain at least one additive such as a pigment, for example a nickel titanate, or else a titanium dioxide; at least one flame retardant filler such as antimony trioxide, alumina trihydrate, zinc borate or calcium carbonate; a fungicide and / or any other additive known to those skilled in the art.
- a pigment for example a nickel titanate, or else a titanium dioxide
- at least one flame retardant filler such as antimony trioxide, alumina trihydrate, zinc borate or calcium carbonate
- fungicide and / or any other additive known to those skilled in the art can also contain at least one additive such as a pigment, for example a nickel titanate, or else a titanium dioxide; at least one flame retardant filler such as antimony trioxide, alumina trihydrate, zinc borate or calcium carbonate; a fungicide and / or any other additive known to those skilled in the art.
- the silver is supported by a mineral matrix which is in the form of a powder dispersed or not in a liquid medium.
- Silver which has the antiviral function is present in the mineral (or inorganic) matrix.
- the matrix is in the form of a powder comprising an atomic lattice in which silver atoms are inserted.
- the silver is gathered in the matrix, preferably in the form of particles of silver.
- the matrix acts as a reservoir for the silver that will be available on the surface of the composite membrane to destroy viruses.
- Silver can also be on the surface of the grains of the mineral matrix.
- the matrix must have a particle size compatible with the thickness of the surface polymer layer, that is to say generally a particle size strictly less than 20 mhi, preferably strictly less than 5 mhi. In all cases, this size is generally greater than or equal to 0.1 ⁇ m.
- the particle size of the matrix is most often in the range of 0.1 to 20 ⁇ m, preferably 0.1 to 5 ⁇ m.
- size is meant according to the invention the largest dimension of the particle.
- the d98 of the particles of the matrix containing silver is less than 18 ⁇ m, preferably less than 10 ⁇ m, and the d50 of the matrix containing silver is less than or equal to 6 ⁇ m. , preferably less than or equal to 3 ⁇ m.
- d98 is meant the maximum size made by 98% of the particles (by number).
- d50 is meant the maximum size made by 50% of the particles (by number).
- the silver content in the matrix is generally between 0.01 and 10%, preferably between 0.1 and 5%, more preferably between 1 and 3%, in% by weight relative to the matrix.
- the mass content of silver in the surface polymer layer is in the range from 0.01 to 5%, preferably from 0.05 to 3%, even more preferably from 0.05 to 2%, in% by weight. This content is expressed relative to the element silver and is calculated after the polymer layer has dried.
- the polymer is generally chosen from the group formed by silicones and fluoropolymers. They are low surface energy polymers and therefore hydrophobic.
- the polymeric surfaces of the silicone or fluorinated type are easily cleanable due to a low surface tension. They also exhibit low safety and reactivity with the skin (ISO 10993-5 non-cytotoxic and 10993-10 non-irritable).
- silicones and fluorinated polymers of PVDF type are advantageously biocompatible and easily cleanable because they are resistant to disinfectants including isopropanol which is widely used for example in hydroalcoholic gels.
- the composite membranes according to the invention find multiple applications in the medical world because they also have the antiviral function
