The project develops advanced antimicrobial coatings using nanocellulose to combat pathogens on surfaces, enhancing hygiene in high-traffic areas. By creating bio-inspired surfaces with resistance-proof compounds, it aims to improve infection control in transportation and healthcare settings.
Human pathogens can persist on textiles and high-traffic surfaces for hours, days or even longer when protected in biofilms, increasing risk of infection spreading.
Conventional cleaning has no lasting effect as contamination can re-occur almost immediately.
Available antimicrobial coatings are based mainly on the release of silver ions and other biocides that present risks for resistance development and environmental damage.
Inorganic nanoparticles are also a concern for human health.
