Prevention of Fomite Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 with Copper Cold Spray Coatings

Author(s):

Bryer C. Sousa, Matthew A. Gleason and Danielle L. Cote

This review article contextualizes the way in which the antipathogenic properties and antimicrobial contact killing/ inactivating performance of copper cold spray coatings and consolidated material surfaces can be extended to the COVID-19 pandemic as a preventative measure. Specifically, literature is reviewed in terms of how copper cold spray coatings can be applied
to high-touch surfaces in biomedical as well as healthcare settings to prevent fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through rapidly inactivating SARS-CoV-2 virions after infecting a surface. After providing an introduction that encapsulates a brief history of selfsanitizing surfaces and surface sterilization, a number of alternative antimicrobial coatings and materials that d... view more»
