Perspective of Organic-Based Antimicrobial Coating Materials: Implication Toward COVID-19

ABSTRACT

In the current scenario emerging COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe global impact over the health of the human. It was started from China at the end of November or beginning of December 2019. It is noted that the existence/survival of novel coronavirus in harsh environmental condition for 72 h virus which cause rapid spread from one person to another. To stop the communal spread of this novel coronavirus various safety measures have been taken globally including hand sanitizers, social distancing, quarantine, and the most important thing is mask. Among the commendable safety measures mask is a key technology is moderately mature, while most of them cannot fight against the effect of viral infection. The non-woven material plays an important role for the manufacture of mask which offer barrier in flow of virus infiltration. If the causes filtration and the antiviral effects can be instantaneously unified into the mask, then it will be more efficient. In this chapter, we discussed about the advanced organic material used for antiviral coating over the safety measures like mask gloves and personnel protective equipment (PPE) kit including the causes, spread, and challenges to develop materials in cost-effective manner. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
