SUSAAN-EU Project

SUSAAN project aims to develop sustainable antiviral and antimicrobial coatings based on active nanomaterials, such as bio-based active materials and inorganic nanoparticles, including the development of fast active-response and durable surfaces, taking into consideration their ease of use, low toxicity, and health issues, and targeting a global sustainability concept. Three relevant market sectors are selected to validate the results of the project, where the antiviral and antimicrobial additives according to efficiency, durability of effects/integrity of the coating and toxicity results at lab-scale will be used for each real application in the textile, plastic and metallic industries. In this context, it can be stated that most of the common hand-touch sites and/or objects are covered by the SUSAAN project, and that therefore the final impact would be extensive after the successful execution of this project.
