The substance called Pieclex stopped the multiplication of viruses and bacteria in 99.9 percent of the cases or made them harmless, said the companies Murata Manufacturing and Teijin Frontier. Pieclex can be used for various purposes, for example to prevent body odor or for protective clothing such as face masks.

Electricity is thus generated by stretching and contracting the tissue during normal movements. The wearer of the garment itself does not feel this. According to the companies, the fabric could be used as a filter in sportswear, hygiene items such as diapers or even in industry.

The companies would now like to test the effectiveness of their invention in the fight against the novel corona virus. However, the virus is not easy to obtain for testing due to the strict rules in dealing with infectious diseases.
