A layman's overview of antimicrobial coatings
There is a lot going on aboutu00a0antimicrobial coatingsu00a0and agents facilitating it. These coatings have been wonderful to use and have a lot of benefits, especially in the healthcare sector. The advent of nanotechnology and the antimicrobial coating is a great boon. An antimicrobial coating or surface is made of antimicrobial agents that restrict the growth of microorganisms on the regular surface. Generally, silver and copper are used due to their superior antimicrobial mechanisms. Well documented tales of silver as an antimicrobial are present, but the mechanisms of copper are still under scrutiny. However, nanotechnology has made it possible to use these antimicrobial qualities to the maximum.
