| Title: | Development of antiviral CVC (Chief Value Cotton) fabric | Authors: | Wang, WY Yim, SL Wong, CH Kan, CW |
Issue Date: | Aug-2021 | Source: | Polymers, Aug. 2021, v. 13, no. 16, 2601 | Abstract: | The outbreak of COVID-19 has already generated a huge societal, economic and political losses worldwide. The present study aims to investigate the antiviral activity of Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) treated fabric against COVID-19 by using the surrogate Feline coronavirus. The antiviral analysis indicated that up to 94% of coronavirus was killed after contacting the CVC fabric treated with PHMB for 2 h, which suggests that PHMB treated fabric could be used for developing protective clothing and beddings with antiviral activity against coronavirus and can play a role in fighting the transmission of COVID-19 in the high-risk places. | Keywords: | Antibacterial agent Coronavirus CVC fabric PHMB Protective clothing |
