Effectiveness of antiviral metal and metal oxide thin-film coatings against human coronavirus 229E
Virucidal thin-film coatings have the potential to inactivate pathogens on surfaces, preventing or slowing their spread. Six potential nanoscale antiviral coatings, Cu, Cu2O, Ag, ZnO, zinc tin oxide (ZTO), and TiO2, are deposited on glass, and their ability to inactivate the HCoV-229E human coronavi...

Virucidal thin-film coatings have the potential to inactivate pathogens on surfaces, preventing or slowing their spread.
