Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 can survive on plastics for up to three days – longer than on metals or cardboard. This is a challenge for the aviation industry, as plastics are used in a variety of components to reduce the weight of aircraft to make them more efficient and reduce their carbon footprint. Regular cleaning – even with disinfectants – only helps for a short time. … Continue reading Antimicrobial coatings for plastic components
Marine paints can be a major source of microplastics. In a new study, Oldenburg environmental geochemists hypothesize that ships leave a kind of ‘skid mark’ in the water. Shipping traffic can be a major source of tiny plastic particles floating in the sea, especially out in the open ocean. In a paper published in the scientific journal Environmental Science & Technology, a team of environmental … Continue reading Protective ship coatings as an underestimated source of microplastic pollution
Michigan State University’s Muhammad Rabnawaz has created a new coating for paper packaging that’s both economical and ecofriendly. The coating, developed by Rabnawaz’s Sustainable Materials Group, protects paper packaging from oil and water—making it useful for things like paper plates and juice boxes—using environmentally friendly ingredients. “If it enters the water, if it enters the ocean, it will decompose,” said Rabnawaz, an assistant professor in the … Continue reading A new coating for paper packaging that’s both economical and ecofriendly: Paper without the microplastics

NSG Group has successfully developed a new antibacterial and antiviral coating for glass substrates, based on its proprietary sol-gel technology. Copper contained in the newly developed coating, reacts with water, oxygen and other substances in the air to generate active oxygen (H2O2, OH, etc.), which in turn inactivates bacteria and viruses by destroying their envelopes and decomposing lipids, protein and gene materials. The laboratory evaluation … Continue reading Development of Sol-gel Antibacterial and Antiviral Coating for Glass
