Australia successfully developed antibacterial and viral sprays

According to a study published on July 22 in the journal Advanced Science (Germany), scientists from Australian universities have invented a disinfectant spray that can prevent the spread of germs. bacteria and viruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Australian scientists have invented a disinfectant spray that can prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.

Research shows that the spray can coat common surfaces and repel viruses and bacteria through an air barrier and kill pathogens.

Professor Antonio Tricoli of the University of Sydney, one of the inventors of the solution, said the drug uses a combination of plastic particles so strong that it can replace bulletproof glass. Scientists have spent up to 5 years researching to create this product.

According to Mr. Tricoli, the advantage of the above solution compared to other products can be longer on the surface, possibly up to several weeks. The solution contains silver nanoparticles, has no side effects, so it is suitable for use in public areas such as elevator buttons, stair handrails, hospitals, schools and restaurants.

Meanwhile, according to Professor David Nisbet of the University of Melbourne, the above spray has been tested on a variety of materials including metal, blotting paper, plastic, brick, tile and glass. 'We have identified the mechanical processes that underlie the operation of the aerosol and evaluated the effectiveness in different environments,' Mr. Nisbet said. We believe that our explanation of the antibacterial and viral mechanisms can greatly promote the research of antibacterial and viral technologies, which could lead to the production of a surface disinfectant spray. effective and affordable way to protect people from viruses and bacteria".
