What are Self-Sterilizing Polymers?

The ability to inactivate pathogens on contact by using inherently biocidal surfaces is at the core of some of the latest strategies for controlling the spread of harmful microorganisms in the healthcare industry, public transportation, and other sectors with a high risk of pathogen transmission via contaminated surfaces.
Today, infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death globally, surpassed only by heart diseases.
Traditionally, the most common strategies to mitigate disease-causing agents spread are based on chemical disinfectants (such as bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and detergents) or repeated exposure to radiation (UV light). However, both approaches can damage the treated surface, adversely affect the environment, or introduce additional health concerns. ....

Researchers Demonstrate Self-Sterilizing Polymers Work Against SARS-CoV-2
Researchers from North Carolina State University, Boston University and Kraton Corporation have demonstrated a family of self-sterilizing polymers that are effective at inactivating coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19. The work opens the door to a suite of applications that could help to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases.
“Our work here provides conclusive evidence that these materials, anionic polymers, can inactivate human coronaviruses quickly and efficiently,” says Richard Spontak, co-author of a paper on the work accepted for publication in Advanced Science. Spontak is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a professor of materials science and engineering at North Carolina State University. ....
