Ivytress Zippered Encasement: How Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Nanocages Redefine Allergen Barriers (2024 Peer-Reviewed Analysis)
Structural Paradox: Why Existing Encasement Fabrics Flunk Basic Physics
1.1 Textrial Fluid Dynamics of Dust Mites
Dust mites (Dermatophagoides sp.) measure 250-300 microns but secrete 0.1µm fecal pellets - smaller than COVID-19 virions (0.12µm). Traditional "allergen-proof" fabrics with 10µm pores are Swiss cheese to these particles.
Ivytress Breakthrough:
Embedding POSS nanocages (1.5nm diameter) in weave junctions creates:
Vortex-like particle traps reducing sideways penetration by 89%
Static charge dissipation (-0.3kV vs. typical -5kV) to repel fungal spores
Self-healing polymer chains closing micro-tears under body heat
