How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Antimicrobial Surfaces?
Nanotechnology enhances antimicrobial surfaces by incorporating nanoscale materials that possess unique physical and chemical properties. These materials often include nanoparticles of silver, copper, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide, which have shown significant antimicrobial activity. Due to their high surface area to volume ratio, nanoparticles interact more effectively with microbial cells compared to their bulk counterparts.
