What are the Benefits of Using Nanomaterials for Antimicrobial Purposes?
Using nanomaterials offers several advantages:
- Enhanced Efficacy: Nanomaterials can provide more effective antimicrobial action at lower concentrations compared to conventional agents. - Targeted Action: They can be engineered for targeted delivery to specific sites, minimizing side effects. - Versatility: Nanomaterials can be incorporated into a variety of products and materials. - Reduced Resistance: The unique mechanisms of action reduce the likelihood of microorganisms developing resistance.
