In public spaces, hospitals, and homes, surfaces can harbor bacteria and viruses and contribute to the spread of infections. Creating surfaces that actively reduce or eliminate pathogens can improve health outcomes and reduce illness transmission. This post explores how antibacterial and antiviral surfaces work, the materials involved, and practical examples of their use.
