Abstract

The CuAg project will develop a copper-silver foil that does not transmit infection and which can be put on touch surfaces such as door handles where there are many touches during a day, or other contact surfaces where it is important to minimize the presence of viruses and bacteria. It will be based on a newly developed copper-silver alloy, which has been shown to have superior antimicrobial effect and can be used to make antimicrobial metallic foils that are easy to use on various objects, appliances and furniture.
