Treating frequently touched surfaces with antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral coatings could help reduce the spread of infectious diseases in busy environments.
Antimicrobial coatings
Alongside COVID-19, we face a continual challenge from other serious transmittable diseases, including influenza, hospital superbugs such as MRSA and Candida albicans, and stomach infections.

We consider substitute materials for coatings that do not come from fossil fuels, are biodegradable and safer for the environment. Bio-based materials obtained from sustainable sources can contribute to all these goals.

Triple-A-COAT project reaches end of year 1
The Triple-A-COAT project has now reached the end of its first year! Project partners met together at EAWAG in Zurich, September 13th-14th 2023, hosted by our Swiss partner SuSoS AG. Triple-A-COAT is working with 3 types of nanocellulose, and several different approaches for antimicrobial functionalisation and coating adhesion to surfaces. This gives us many different parameters to play with, so we can develop the best performing antimicrobial …
