Nanoparticles have antiviral and antibacterial
activities. The main motto of nanoparticles is to fight microbes that cause
influenza and tuberculosis issues. It has ability to prevent the pathogens and
viruses due to the potential surface conversion and functionalization with a
huge amount of reports in the literature and rising regarding the control of
coronaviruses.
Nanotechnology fights against COVID-19 through
different methods in the medical field, the analysis with the help of nanotechnology
is said to be as nanomedicine. It has an excellent potential in trade with
several health issues that include viruses and could serve as a new avenue for
the treatment and disinfection of viruses.
Simplified portrayal of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the
nanotechnologies tools is to preclude and control COVID-19. The virus
penetrates into cell by the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and
uses the host cell’s machinery to reproduce and contaminate new host cells.
Nanotechnology has a lot of analysis for the development of new materials, open
perspectives for surfaces with self-cleaning properties and promising
disinfectant systems. These systems can have antimicrobial activity and able to
release chemical disinfectants slowly, rapidly their time of action. Nano-based
materials could help in:
- Virus
detection
- More
efficient and safer treatment and vaccines
- Nano-based
Personal Protective equipment (PPE)
