Abstract

Clinicians and researchers from Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia will collaborate with researchers from Indian Institute of Science (IISc), India to generate novel Nanotextured materials that inactivate the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The Nanotextures will be fabricated on various materials using technologies such as hydrothermal processing and reactive-ion-etching in Australia and India. Exposure of virus to nanomaterials will be performed at QUT. The project is directed towards the delivery of antipathogenic nanomaterials for healthcare applications such as hospital environments and personal protection equipment.
