REACTIVE SILVER INKS FOR ANTIVIRAL, REPELLENT MEDICAL TEXTILES WITH ULTRASONIC BLEACH WASHING DURABILITY COMPARED TO SILVER NANOPARTICLES.

Reactive silver inks for antiviral, repellent medical textiles with ultrasonic bleach washing durability compared to silver nanoparticles.

Medical textiles are subject to particularly harsh disinfection procedures in healthcare settings where exposure risks are high.This work demonstrates a fabric treatment consisting of a reactive silver ink and low surface energy PDMS polymer that provides for superhydrophobicity and antiviral properties against enveloped herpes simplex virus stocks
