Abstract

In this research work, for the first time, we have developed and demonstrated a COVID-19 repellent coating on cotton cloth that not only repels the virus but also most of the human body fluids (superhemophobic). The coating was tested in the BSL3 lab. The controlled experiments revealed no significant increase in the log viral particles on coated fabric compared to the uncoated surface, evidence that the coated fabric resisted the SARS-CoV-2 inoculum. Further, the coated cloth exhibited excellent dust-free nature and stain resistance against body fluids (blood, urine, bovine serum, water, and saliva aerosol). It also shows sufficient robustness for repetitive usage. The fabrication process for the developed COVID-19 repellent cloth is simple and affordable and can be easily scaled up for mass production. Such coating could be applied on various surfaces, including daily clothes, masks, medical clothes, curtains, etc. The present finding could be a mammoth step towards controlling infection spread, including COVID-19.

新冠肺炎驱虫布
在这项研究工作中,我们首次在棉布上开发并展示了一种新冠肺炎疏水涂层,该涂层不仅能抵御病毒,还能抵御大多数人体体液(超疏水)。涂层在BSL3实验室中进行了测试。对照实验显示,与未涂层表面相比,涂层织物上的对数病毒颗粒没有显著增加,这表明涂层织物能抵抗严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型接种物。此外,涂层布表现出优异的无尘性和对体液(血液、尿液、牛血清、水和唾液气溶胶)的防污性。对于重复使用,它也显示出足够的健壮性。开发的新冠肺炎驱虫布的制造工艺简单且价格合理,可以轻松扩大规模进行大规模生产。这种涂层可以应用于各种表面,包括日常衣物、口罩、医用衣物、窗帘等。目前的发现可能是控制包括新冠肺炎在内的感染传播的巨大一步。图形摘要
