How Nanomaterials Lead to Antimicrobial Surfaces
A team at Loughborough University is harnessing nanomaterials to develop next-generation functional paints and coatings to reduce bacteria and virus transmission. Watch this video to learn about the novel platform technology.
“We hope that one day our coatings will be applied as standard to a range of everyday products – providing a variety of built-in capabilities and features like anti-bacterial, self-cleaning, optical and anti-corrosive properties," Dr. Martin-Fabiani says .
