What are the Applications of Antimicrobial Nanotechnology?
1. Medical Devices: Coating medical devices with antimicrobial nanoparticles can prevent infections associated with implants and catheters. 2. Hospital Surfaces: Antimicrobial coatings on hospital surfaces can reduce the transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). 3. Food Packaging: Incorporating nanoparticles into food packaging can extend shelf life by preventing microbial growth. 4. Textiles: Antimicrobial fabrics are used in healthcare, sportswear, and military applications to reduce odor and infection risk. 5. Water Treatment: Nanomaterials can be used in water filtration systems to remove microbial contaminants.
