CareCoatex™: Biomaterial-based Core-Shell Particles for Antibacterial and Antiviral Application

CareCoatexTM: A Biomaterial-based Core-Shell Particles for Safe and Effective Antimicrobial Applications | Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology

The innovative antimicrobial coating developed by Prof. Li Pei has produced significant advances in the economy, research, and public health . Amid the pandemic, people are more concerned than ever about personal and environmental hygiene . The majority of us can still clearly recalled how the hoarders snatched up bleach, alcohol, and hand sanitiser. Moreover, certain disinfectants are irritating to human skin while others may pose health risks upon prolonged exposure. Additionally, toxic chemicals have potential to leak into our ecosystem, contaminate water and other resources. In light of this, Prof. Li developed biopolymer-based coatings with her patented core-shell particle technology. The coating gives a long-lasting antimicrobial effect on a variety of surfaces, while being safe for humans and the environment.
