What Types of Nanomaterials Are Used in Sanitizers?
Several types of nanomaterials are commonly used in sanitizers:
1. Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs): Known for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. 2. Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO): Effective against a variety of pathogens and also provide UV protection. 3. Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles (TiO2): Used for their photocatalytic properties, which can degrade organic contaminants. 4. Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs): Investigated for their potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
