Surfaces contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms contribute to their transmission and
spreading. The development of “active surfaces” that can reduce or eliminate this …

Environmental context Transmission of viruses is related to their survival while being outside
the host body. By means of experimental and computational simulations we assess the …

The routine disinfection and sanitization of surfaces, objects, and textiles has become a time-
consuming but necessary task for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the …

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation into the
antiviral properties of nanostructured surfaces and explains the underlying virucidal …

The transmission of viruses is largely dependent on contact with contaminated virus-laden
communal surfaces. While frequent surface disinfection and antiviral coating techniques are …

Due to the high density of human populations within enclosed spaces, respiratory viruses
are mainly transmitted via airborne aerosols; however, they can also be transmitted via …

The global COVID-19 pandemic has attracted considerable attention toward innovative
methods and technologies for suppressing the spread of viruses. Transmission via …

Surface engineering is an emerging technology to design antiviral surfaces, especially in the
wake of COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is yet no general understanding of the rules …

Due to the ongoing global epidemic caused by COVID-19, there is now a greater focus on
establishing best practices to control the transmission of microbes. The COVID-19 epidemic …

With the rise of bacterial and viral infections including the recent outbreak of coronavirus, the
requirement for novel antimicrobial strategies is also rising with urgency. To solve this …
