Compositions and method for treating materials for the development of (medical) protective devices with antiviral and antimicrobial role
The present invention provides the technology for modifying protective devices by applying a polymeric layer loaded with Ag nanoparticles, Cu, ZnO, etc. stabilized with suitable agents and loaded with antiviral / antimicrobial substances based on pure components such as eugenol, eugenyl acetate, …, oils or extracts with low volatility to ensure long-lasting action. In the formulations to be applied on the protection devices, the nanoparticle content can reach 1-2%; antiviral / antimicrobial components also 1-2% while the polymer content varies in the range of 0.1-100% the difference being solvent.
