Developing Next Generation Materials to Combat Pathogenic Micro-Organisms contamination on Surfaces

·

Pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, significantly threaten human health. In recent years, there has been a growing need for effective measures to control the transmission of pathogens by touching contaminated surfaces, particularly in locations used by immunocompromised individuals. One area of research that holds great promise is the development of next-generation materials that can attenuate the growth of these harmful microorganisms on various surfaces.

The traditional approach to combating pathogenic micro-organisms has relied heavily on disinfectants and antimicrobial agents. While these methods have proven effective, they often come with drawbacks such as toxicity, limited effectiveness, and the potential for developing antimicrobial resistance.

Our approach is to use materials that are engineered at the nanoscale, allowing for precise control over their properties. By incorporating antimicrobial activity, been able to develop surfaces that can actively disrupt the growth and survival of pathogenic micro-organisms.

By exploring different fabrication techniques and structural modifications, we aim to improve the effectiveness and durability of Axentik patented material. The ultimate goal is to create surfaces that can actively contribute to the prevention and control of infectious diseases, reducing the burden on healthcare systems and improving public health.
