Nanozid Nano-Coating Kills SARS Virus - New Product
Only last spring the SARS epidemic sent a shiver of fear around the globe. Now scientists working at the Institute of Virology at the University Hospital of Philipps University Marburg discovered that the viruses responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) lose their terror on surfaces coated with special nanoparticles
Application of Nano Silver Particles on Textile Materials for Improvement of Antibacterial Finishes
The article reviews the role of nano silver particles in improving the antibacterial properties of textile materials. Efforts have been directed at the extracellular synthesis of highly stable silver nano particles for the development of nanosafe textile.
Nanosilver particles in medical applications: synthesis, performance, and toxicity
Nanosilver particles (NSPs), are among the most attractive nanomaterials, and have been widely used in a range of biomedical applications, including diagnosis, treatment, drug delivery, medical device coating, and for personal health care.
Medical textiles with silver/nanosilver and their potential application for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections
In this article we presented an overview on the use of antimicrobial textiles, including those with silver/nanosilver, as a new approach to countering HAI by reducing the potential risk of the pathogen transmission between patients and healthcare workers. The strong antimicrobial in vitro activity of these engineered textiles was confirmed in vitro against several HAI-associated pathogens, including multiresistant strains belonging to alert pathogens.
Silver nanoparticles as a medical device in healthcare settings
Silver nanoparticle-based antimicrobials can promote a long lasting bactericidal effect without detrimental toxic side effects.
Conductive, antibacterial, and electromagnetic shielding silver‐plated cotton fabrics activated by dopamine.
These features makes this silver‐plated cotton fabrics a promising candidate as multifunctional textiles with reduction percent of bacteria over 99.99%
