Cost-Effective Durable Antimicrobial Coating
An effective coating to slow down the spread of pathogens on surfaces by inactivating bacteria, viruses and fungi when they contaminate a surface. A cost-effective process has been tested and developed to fabricate antimicrobial coating.
Technology overview
Antimicrobial coating is an effective way to slow down the spread of pathogens on surfaces by inactivating bacteria, viruses and fungi when they contaminate a surface. Despite being commercially available, the cost and durability of the anti-microbial coating technology can still be further improved. Common commercial coatings that are available to consumers have a gradually diminishing antimicrobial strength and mostly only last for a few months. Other longer lifetime coatings exist for industrial coating producers, but are produced with exotic and expensive processes.
A cost-effective process has been developed to fabricate an antimicrobial coating. The coating is tested to be durable with high antimicrobial efficacy.
Technology features
A metal oxide-based nanowire layer coating obtained by Chemical Bath Deposition
