摘要
COVID-19 poses a major threat to global health and socioeconomic structures, and the need for a highly effective, antimicrobial face mask has been considered a major challenge for protection against respiratory diseases. Here, we report the development of a universal, antiviral, and antibacterial material that can be dip-/spray-coated over conventional mask fabrics to exhibit antimicrobial activities. Our data shows that antimicrobial fabrics rapidly inactivated multiple types of viruses, i.e., human (alpha/beta) coronaviruses, the influenza virus, and bacteria, irrespective of their modes of transmission (aerosol or droplet). This research provides an immediate method to contain infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
