Porous Antimicrobial Coatings for Killing Microbes within Minutes.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
March 2023
Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial coatings can significantly reduce the transmission of infectious agents by rapidly killing microbes between user interactions.
- Our research tests a porous coating design that allows contaminated liquid to quickly penetrate and contact the active antimicrobial material, which results in faster microbial inactivation compared to non-porous coatings.
- The study demonstrates that with our porous copper coating, over 99% of microbes can be killed within minutes, showcasing its effective application on frequently touched surfaces to help prevent the spread of infections.
