    Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) recently studied a protective coating designed to kill the new coronavirus COVID-19.
    team includes Materials Science and Nanotechnology researcher Sudpta Seal and filtered pathogen researcher Griffith Parks. The research project was funded by the National Science

    .
    research project is to design a nanostructure that captures new coronavirus and kills it by triggering chemical reactions caused by ultraviolet light.
    the nanostructure was tested in a laboratory at UCF University School of Medicine to see which specific material could kill the virus and how quickly.
    Sudipta Seal said, "I designed the formula, Dr. Griffith Parks, to test for viral inhibition, and the virus tested was similar in RAN and DNA structure to the new coronavirus, but not as contagious or fatal." If it works for the virus tested, we'll take the next step.
    Because Parks Labs is not a Bio-Hazard Safety Class 3 accredited laboratory, it is not necessary to directly test the new coronavirus COVID-19, but if the experimental results prove that the material developed has an effective killing effect on other coronavirus viruses, UCF University will send the material to a qualified laboratory off campus for further study.
    if the results are successful, the protective coatings will be applied to medical materials such as masks, protective clothing, gloves, etc.
    addition, the University of the Witwatersrand (UW) in South Africa has recently developed a self-sanitizing surface cleaning coating that helps control infections in hospitals, food processing plants, public transport or other commercial locations. The self-sterilizing antibacterial coating is understood to have been developed by Dr Michael Lucas of UW University. This coating is unique in that it produces multi-stage effects through cold spray and polymer 3D printing technology.
