What are Some Examples of Nano-Enhanced Disinfectants?
Several nano-enhanced disinfectants have been developed and are available in the market:
Silver Nanoparticles: Known for their potent antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles are used in various disinfectant products, including wound dressings, coatings for medical devices, and household cleaners. Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles: These nanoparticles are used in self-cleaning surfaces and coatings due to their ability to generate reactive oxygen species under UV light, which can kill bacteria and viruses. Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: Zinc oxide has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and is used in a range of applications, from sunscreens to surface disinfectants.
