In the current situation of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, there
is a worldwide demand for the protection of regular handling surfaces from viral transmission …

Transparent antimicrobial coatings can maintain the aesthetic appeal of surfaces and the
functionality of a touch-screen while adding the benefit of reducing disease transmission …

The scientific community has recognized that copper can kill bacteria; however, the effect of
the particle size, concentration, and oxidation state on antibacterial activity remains unclear …

Some very effective antimicrobial coatings exploit copper or cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) as the
active agent. The aim of this study is to determine which species is the active antimicrobial …

Antimicrobial coatings can be used to reduce the transmission of infectious agents that are
spread by contact. An effective coating should kill microbes in the time between users, which …

The high antibacterial and antiviral performance of synthesized copper (I) oxide (Cu2O)
incorporated in zeolite nanoparticles (Cu-Z) was determined. Various Cu contents (1–9 wt%) …

Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 can remain viable on solid surfaces for up to one week, hence
fomites are a potential route of exposure to infectious virus. Copper has well documented …

Due to the high density of human populations within enclosed spaces, respiratory viruses
are mainly transmitted via airborne aerosols; however, they can also be transmitted via …
