Nanotechnology Research
Antimicrobial, Antiviral, and Antifungal Nanocoatings, by sustainable synthesis methods, for application on all surfaces
About us
NanoBloc’s aim is to provide reliable Antimicrobial, Antiviral, and Antifungal Nanocoatings, by sustainable synthesis methods, suitable for application on all surfaces and textiles. To do so, NanoBloc® is mobilising an interdisciplinary (materials, coating processes, microbiology & AI) cocreation alliance between 4 world-class universities & institutes, and 5 leading industrial companies (3 SMEs & 2 large enterprises) and 1 standardization body who together will cocreate, develop and upscale (from TRL3 to TRL6) reliable ‘Made in Europe’ antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral coatings manufactured with industrially scalable, versatile and green technologies suitable for application on a variety of different substrates: filter materials (air filtration units, face masks), textiles (protective clothing, mattress covers, aprons, wallpaper), and also on diverse high-traffic solid surfaces (door knobs, handles, handrails, sanitaryware-taps, etc.). Building on previous encouraging results obtained by the consortium partners, NanoBloc® coatings will be tested in working conditions for each envisaged application, with particular emphasis on their health & environment safety.
