“…As shown in Figure d, the green fabricated Cu x O fabric killed all bacteria on it, while on the untreated fabric, the viability of the bacteria increased approximately 100 times (Supporting Information Figures S13 and S14). Overall, the antibacterial characteristics of the prepared Cu x O fabric are comparable with those of the recently reported Cu/Zn coated cotton mask fiber . The bactericidal effect on all green fabricated surfaces is probably the result of nano/micro metallic particles that encounter the bacteria, breaking down the bacterial membrane, infiltrating the cell, or damaging the protein/DNA structures. , …”

Microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses pose a serious threat to human health and society. Surfaces are one of the major pathways for the transmission of infectious diseases. Therefore, imparting antipathogenic properties to these surfaces is significant. Here, we present a rapid, one-step approach for practical fabrication of antimicrobial and antifungal surfaces using an eco-friendly and low-cost reducing agent, the extract of Cedrus libani . Copper oxide nanoparticles were grown in situ on the surface of print paper and fabric in the presence of the copper salt and extract, without the use of any additional chemicals. The morphology and composition of the grown nanoparticles were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The analysis revealed that the grown particles consist of mainly spherical CuO nanoparticles with an average size of ∼14 nm and its clusters with an average size of ∼700 nm. The in situ growth process enables strong bonding of the nanoparticles to the surface, resulting in enhanced durability against wear and tear. Moreover, the fabricated surface shows excellent growth inhibition ability and bactericidal activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans , a common pathogenic fungus. The ability to grow copper oxide nanoparticles on different surfaces paves the way for a range of applications in wound dressings, masks, and protective medical equipment.

“…Several studies have shown that metal ions [32] , [33] , quaternary ammonium salts [34] , and N -halamines [35] can be used to prepare electrospinning nanofibrous membranes with antibacterial properties [36] . Among them, N -halamines are commonly used as antibacterial agents owing to their excellent stability, bactericidal effect, reusability, and relatively low cost [37] .…”

“…Silver nanoparticles have been successfully used against different types of respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses, rhinovirus, influenza virus, adenoviruses, hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and herpes simplex virus (Lara et al, 2010a;Galdiero et al, 2011;Demchenko et al, 2022;Parvez et al, 2022;Patoo et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022). Before the discovery of penicillin in the 1930s, silver was known as an antimicrobial for centuries.…”

Nanoparticles can be used as inhibitory agents against various microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, archaea, fungi, and a huge class of viruses. The mechanism of action includes inhibiting the function of the cell membrane/stopping the synthesis of the cell membrane, disturbing the transduction of energy, producing toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibiting or reducing RNA and DNA production. Various nanomaterials, including different metallic, silicon, and carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures, have been successfully used against different viruses. Recent research strongly agrees that these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (nano-antivirals) have shown activity in the solid state. Therefore, they are very useful in the development of several products, such as fabric and high-touch surfaces. This review thoroughly and critically identifies recently developed nano-antivirals and their products, nano-antiviral deposition methods on various substrates, and possible mechanisms of action. By considering the commercial viability of nano-antivirals, recommendations are made to develop scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing properties.
