Nanotechnology Platforms for Antiviral Challenges : Fundamentals, Applications and Advances

Nanotechnology provides an innovative platform for drug delivery and antiviral actions. This book discusses the utilization of nano-based formulations for control of viral agents. Antiviral potential of green synthesized silver, chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin, photoinduced antiviral carbon nanohorns, and role of carbon-based materials like fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes in repression of viral antigens are explained. It covers nanomaterial-based solutions for SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections. Features: Explains theory and practical applications of nanomaterials as antiviral agents. Reviews upscaling of nanomaterials from laboratory to fabrication stage. Illustrates nanocurcumin, silver nanoparticles, and carbon nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Highlight role of nanotechnology in effectively combating viral infections and pandemics. Includes case studies of specific pharma companies. This book aims at researchers, graduate students in materials science, microbiology and virology, and pharmaceutical sciences--
