Nanotechnology and Treatment of Covid-19

Abstract

Nanotechnology has indeed fulfill many roles in many fields in contemporary science, such as electronic and IT applications, medical and health care applications, including COVID-19, Energy applications, environmental remediation, nanocomposites, herbal nano-particles. Research in this field needs to further proliferate, because of the novel properties of nano-based materials. Nanotechnology, will continue to solve many technologically driven process in contemporary science. It remains the vision of contemporary nanotechnologist to proliferate this research to other dimensions such as finding a cure for COVID-19. Nanotechnology/nanoparticles is the way forward to neutralize and eradicate SARS-COV-2 virus. Nanoparticles are of the same dimension as the SARS-COV-2 virus and thus this will promote effective interaction with the virus. Research in this area is continually increasing. In addition, a relatively large number of nanomolecules can be in effective contact with the virus of nanodimensions. Of greater significance, the use of plant extracts in synthesis of plant based nanoparticles to eradicate the viruses because of their easier synthesis, environmentally friendly nature and superior nature, as selective plants possess antiviral activities on their own.
