About this eBook

Antimicrobial Materials and Coatings covers the properties, fabrication technologies, and applications of antimicrobial coatings and materials, with a focus on innovative antimicrobial nanomaterials. Due to the globally concerning issue of antimicrobial resistance and the evidence that nanomaterials are believed to have no or low potential for resistance development, considerable efforts have been directed to synthesizing and developing antibacterial coatings and nanomaterials for a range of applications. This book guides the reader through the key properties, fabrication technologies and various applications of antimicrobial coatings and materials, including applications in food packaging, biomedicine and public health, water treatment and decontamination. - Covers a range of antimicrobial coatings and materials, including thin films, nanocomposites, bioactive materials, and more - Explores key microbial sub-types - bacteria, viruses, and fungi – and maps the appropriate antimicrobial coating/material to each type, helping the reader select the best optimized material for their purposes - Reviews the benefits of innovative antimicrobial nanomaterials and nanocoatings in fighting antimicrobial resistance in a range of industries and environments
