Self-sterilizing materials? Not only antibacterial but antiviral.
From the archives.
“We've designed oligomer and small molecule compounds that do indeed replicate the function of defensins. They're potent and broad spectrum. We've tested them against more than 25 different bacterial strains, including strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and they work against all of them. They also have antifungal and ANTIVIRAL properties and are very inexpensive and very easy to make. They're safe, selective for bacterial cells, and don't harm mammalian cells. Polymer derivatives of these compounds have been made, and we've shown that we can add them to paints, plastics and textiles to create products and surfaces that are intrinsically and permanently self-sterilizing by virtue of the material itself”.
