Literature review reveals molecular design strategies for antiviral surface coatings targeting viral envelopes and capsids, highlighting advanced materials to combat infectious pandemics.

Key Points

To review mechanistic chemical design principles and materials science strategies for creating antiviral surface coatings that neutralise enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
Synthesized molecular-level design approaches for functionalizing surfaces with organic molecules, inorganic compounds, and nanoparticles.
Evaluated mechanisms of viral inactivation, focusing on disruption of protective lipid envelopes and protein capsids.
Analyzed self-cleaning technologies reliant on light-activated photocatalysts and triplet photosensitizers for COVID-19 and pandemic mitigation.
Identified distinct molecular pathways required to target membrane-enveloped viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 versus structurally resistant non-enveloped viral capsids.
Demonstrated that incorporating photoactive materials like photocatalysts generates reactive species that confer continuous self-cleaning antiviral capabilities to treated surfaces.
