What are the applications of antimicrobial nanoparticles?
Antimicrobial nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, including:
1. Medical Devices: Coating medical devices with antimicrobial nanoparticles to prevent infections. 2. Textiles: Incorporating nanoparticles into fabrics to create antimicrobial clothing and hospital linens. 3. Food Packaging: Using nanoparticles in packaging materials to extend the shelf life of food products by preventing microbial growth. 4. Water Treatment: Utilizing nanoparticles in water filters to remove or deactivate harmful microorganisms. 5. Surface Coatings: Applying nanoparticle-based coatings to high-touch surfaces in public spaces to reduce the spread of infections.
