Novel Self-cleaning, anti-bacterial coatings, preventing disease transmission on everyday touched surfaces (SELFCLEAN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Hygiene/antimicrobial issues in public places (hospitals, schools, hotels, public transportation etc) are of crucial importance as inattention could lead to spread of viral diseases or epidemics and consequently to deaths. A typical example is that of hospital acquired infections (HAI). According to The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in the EU, about 3,000,000 are infect ...
