PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adsorbing/removing material for Influenza viruses, which is helpful for the infection prevention of Influenza viruses for removing Influenza viruses at low costs and with high efficiency.SOLUTION: There is provided the adsorbing/removing material for Influenza viruses which is characterized by using carbonaceous materials obtained by carbonizing wood selected from the group consisting of oak, myrobalan, pine, cryptomeria, painted maple, and sawtooth oak at a temperature ranging from 500 to 800°C. The carbonaceous material has super-macro holes each of which has a pore diameter ranging from 2 μm to 20 μm on the basis of observation by an electron microscope on the material surface, and macro holes each of which has an average pore diameter ranging from 100 to 2,000 nm calculated by a mercury porosimetry at the inside.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】低コストでかつ高い効率でインフルエンザウイルスを除去することができるインフルエンザウイルスの感染防止に有用なインフルエンザウイルスの吸着除去材を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明は、ナラ、カシ、マツ、スギ、イタヤカエデ、クヌギからなる群から選ばれる木材を、温度500~800℃で炭化処理して得られた炭素質材料を用いることを特徴とするインフルエンザウイルスの吸着除去材である。この炭素質材料は、その材料表面に電子顕微鏡による観察で2μm~20μmの細孔径を有する超マクロ孔を有し、かつ、その内部に水銀圧入法で求めた平均細孔径が100nm~2000nmのマクロ孔を有する。【選択図】図1
