Nanotechnology provides innovative solutions for sterilization through the development of nanomaterials and nanostructures. These include:
Nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles that have antimicrobial properties and can destroy microorganisms by disrupting their cell membranes. Nanocoatings that can be applied to surfaces to create self-sterilizing surfaces, preventing the growth and spread of bacteria and viruses. Nanofibers which can be used in filters to trap and neutralize pathogens from air and water.
