What is Nanoscale Interaction Mechanisms of Antiviral Activity about?

Nanomaterials have now found applications across all segments of society including but not limited to energy, environment, defense, agriculture, purification, food medicine, diagnostics, and others. The pandemic and the vulnerability of humankind to emerging viruses and other infectious diseases has renewed interest in nanoparticles as a potential new class of antivirals. In fact, a growing body of evidence in the literature suggests nanoparticles may have activity against multiple viruses including HIV, HNV, SARS-CoV-2, HBV, HCV, HSV, RSV, and others. The most described antiviral nanoparticles include copper, alloys, and oxides including zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide, iron oxide, and their composites, nitrides, and other ceramic nanoparticles, as well as gold and silver nanoparticles, and sulfated and nonsulfated polysaccharides and other sulfated polymers including galactan, cellulose, polyethylenimine, chitosan/chitin, and others. Nanoparticles, synthesized via the biological or green method, also have great importance and are under major consideration these days, as their method of synthesis is easy, reliable, cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly, and is done using ea
