Abstract
The purpose of synthesizing and designing novel antimicrobial materials and coating is their viable application to mitigate the spread infectious diseases. Nanotechnology has been used in designing and formulating a range of antimicrobial and antiviral materials as well as in their surface coating. Here, we have described a few types of nanotechnology-based antimicrobial and antiviral materials that are potent and cost-effective. We have discussed their applications in terms of commercial products and formulations that either are in pipeline or have commercial potential. We have elaborated on the formulations, properties, action mechanism, and effectiveness of these materials or products and discussed the challenges in their commercialization and most importantly their positive and negative impacts on our society, economy, and environment. The highlight of the book chapter is the socioeconomic, health, and environmental concerns on the growing applications and market interest of nanotechnology-based antimicrobial and antiviral products.
