Abstract:Antiviral agents present a propitious alternative to prevent pathogen transmission on various surfaces. In the present study, we successfully synthesized nanocomposites of thermoplastic polyurethanes with silver nanoparticles (TPU/AgNPs) via extrusion. To comprehensively evaluate their potential in antiviral applications, we conducted a thorough analysis of the nanocomposites, encompassing investigations into their chemical structure, physicochemical and mechanical properties, cytotoxicity, antibacterial activ… Show more
