COVID-19 Response: Improved Antiviral Surfaces and Smart Disinfectants
CAMBRIDGE, MA — Adaptive Surface Technologies (AST) is working on how it can contribute to the resolution of the COVID-19 crisis through the creation of functional materials. From its expertise in marine biofilm repellency, the company understands that viral mitigation is complex and requires a biocidal approach to ensure efficacy. AST believes it can create an improved antiviral surface that interacts with disinfectant solutions to improve biocidal activity – effectively reducing COVID-19 staying on commonly touched surfaces such as door handles and handrails. AST has already seen inbound interest in possible solutions from mass transportation businesses.
