Duurzame ontwikkeling van een veilig en biobased platform voor antimicrobiële, schimmelwerende en antivirale nanocoatings KU Leuven
Human pathogens can persist on textiles and high-traffic surfaces for hours, days or even longer when protected in biofilms, increasing risk of infection spreading. Conventional cleaning has no lasting effect as contamination can re-occur almost immediately. Available antimicrobial coatings are based mainly on the release of silver ions and other biocides that present risks for resistance development and environmental damage. Inorganic ...
