Advanced, long term disinfectant polymers

Researcher: Dr. Shady Farah

Add to Briefcase
Surfaces contaminated with viruses such as the Coronavirus may infect people touching them or facilitate their spreadability. On non-porous surfaces, the viable virus can be detected for days to weeks. Current small molecules-based disinfectants are effective in cleaning surfaces, but...
