The astonishing outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, known as COVID-19, has attracted numerous research interests, particularly regarding fabricating antimicrobial surface coatings. This initiative is aimed at overcoming and minimizing viral and bacterial transmission to the human. When contaminated droplets from an infected individual land onto common surfaces, SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is able to survive on various surfaces for up to 9 days. Thus, the possibility of virus transmission increases after touching or being in contact with contaminated surfaces. Herein, we aim to provide overviews of various types of antiviral and antimicrobial coating agents, such as antimicrobial polymer-based coating, metal-based coating, functional nanomaterial, and nanocomposite-based coating. The action mode for each type of antimicrobial agent against pathogens is elaborated. In addition, surface properties of the designed antiviral and antimicrobial polymer coating with their influencing factors are discussed in this review. This paper also exhibits several techniques on surface modification to improve surface properties. Various developed research on the development of antiviral/antimicrobial polymer coating to curb the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented in this review.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引发的新冠肺炎疫情令人震惊,引发了众多研究兴趣,尤其是在制造抗菌表面涂层方面。这一举措旨在克服并尽量减少病毒和细菌向人类的传播。当受感染个体的污染飞沫落在普通表面上时,SARS-CoV-2冠状病毒能够在各种表面存活长达9天。因此,接触或与受污染表面接触后,病毒传播的可能性会增加。在此,我们旨在概述各种类型的抗病毒和抗菌涂层剂,如基于抗菌聚合物的涂层、金属基涂层、功能纳米材料和基于纳米复合材料的涂层。阐述了每种抗菌剂对病原体的作用方式。此外,本综述还讨论了设计的抗病毒和抗菌聚合物涂层的表面性质及其影响因素。本文还展示了几种改善表面性质的表面改性技术。本综述还介绍了为遏制新冠肺炎疫情而开展的各种抗病毒/抗菌聚合物涂层的研究进展。
