Antiviral and Antimicrobial Smart Coatings: Fundamentals and Applications

by Aditya Kumar (Editor), Ajit Behera PhD (Editor), Muhammad Bilal (Editor), Ram Gupta (Editor), Tuan Anh Nguyen PhD (Editor)

Overview

Antiviral and Antimicrobial Smart Coatings: Fundamentals and Applications provides a critical analysis of all types of smart antiviral and antimicrobial coatings currently being researched. The book opens with a discussion of the microbial and viral pathogens, including how to identify them and their interaction with surfaces. The next three sections look at the concept of smart coatings, specifically antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral smart coatings, types, effects, and applications. The book concludes by discussing the methods and standards for characterization of coatings and then presents several real world case studies. A valuable resource for those working in the smart coatings field.
