Virtual seminar on role of nano tech
Madurai: A three-day virtual seminar on the “role of nanotechnology against coronavirus” was inaugurated at Alagappa University in Karaikudi on Wednesday under the aegis of the university’s nanoscience and technology department.
In his address, vice-chancellor N Rajendran said scientists had opined that nanotechnology may offer solutions for the Covid-19 pandemic.
If employed successfully, nano particles may be able to eliminate the virus inside the body by confining, immobilising and preventing the spread of the virus. Owing to the small size and large surface area of nanomaterials and their antimicrobial activity, they can be used for containing the coronavirus.
Head of the department of nanoscience and technology, Dr P Shakthivel, said the seminar would discuss the solutions offered by nanotechnology in mitigating the spread of the pandemic. During the course of the seminar, experts will speak on topics like ‘Development of nanostructured materials for drug loading and controlled release of antiviral drugs”, ‘Hybrid antiviral based nano-coating application for sensor and healthcare devices against Covid-19’ and ‘Scope and potential of nanostructures in tackling Covid-19’ .tnn
