    Abstract: Provided is a structure provided with a diamond coating film excelling in surface smoothness, and a method for producing the same. The present disclosure relates to a structure including: a substrate; and a coating film including a first layer of diamond particles fixed on a surface of the substrate, and one or more other layers of diamond particles disposed on the first layer of diamond particles. The diamond particle layers adjacent to each other in a height direction are in close contact with each other. In the structure, the diamond particle layers adjacent to each other in the height direction are preferably in close contact with each other by Coulomb force.

    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for impregnating surfaces, which are typically porous and/or textile-based, with antiviral/antibacterial compounds in a manner that is robust, effective and straightforward. Such techniques can be employed during manufacture of the underlying item (e.g. PPE) and/or in the field. In an illustrative embodiment, a system and method for providing antiviral and antibacterial properties to a porous surface is provided. It includes a suspension consisting of a water-based solvent and an active ingredient consisting of at least one of a nanoparticulate metal and a chelated metal. The suspension is applied using an application process that immerses or sprays the suspension relative to the surface. Illustratively, the metal is at least one of silver, copper and titanium. Alternatively, or additionally, the metal can a chelated copper. The suspension can also include a salt component, such as sodium chloride. Additionally, the suspension can include a water repellant.

    Abstract: Methods of treating a substrate, e.g., forming a coating on the substrate, are described. The method may include applying a solution comprising a multifunctional molecule or a multifunctional-polymer molecule to at least a portion of a surface of the substrate. The surface may comprise a metal or metal alloy and the multifunctional molecule or a multifunctional-polymer molecule may bond to the surface via at least one sulfur group of a plurality of sulfur groups of the multifunctional molecule. The method may include combining the multifunctional molecule with a polymer molecule to form the multifunctional polymer molecule before or after applying the solution. The polymer molecule may bond to an internal carbon group or a terminal sulfur group of the multifunctional molecule.
