Description : | This project aims to help develop viricidal coatings for inanimate surfaces used in healthcare settings such as surgical masks for the prevention of infectious diseases caused by highly contagious pathogens such as severe acute respiratory syndrome-related novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Materials with coatings can effectively destroy viruses. These materials will be cost-effective, can be repurposed and will be used in various healthcare settings, such as surgical masks to prevent the spread of highly contagious infections like COVID-19. |
