Antiviral Nanomaterials for Designing Mixed Matrix Membranes

Antiviral Nanomaterials for Designing Mixed Matrix Membranes

Membranes are helpful tools to prevent airborne and waterborne pathogenic microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria. A membrane filter can physically separate pathogens from air or water. Moreover, incorporating antiviral and antibacterial nanoparticles into the matrix of membrane filters can r...
