There are nanotechnology-based materials that can be used as antimicrobial additives in
different applications such as water-borne paints. Antimicrobial paints are important tool in
order to avoid indoor biological colonization and therefore prevent paint bio-deterioration
and health problems in people and pets. These paints would have application in kitchens,
bathrooms and hospitals. The present study evaluated the incorporation of silver (of two
different sizes), copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles in indoor waterborne paints and the bio …
