USE CASES

Our research explores nanomaterial technologies to pioneer next-generation industrial applications and tackle critical challenges. We have identified several promising use cases across various sectors, including healthcare and consumer goods.

PREVENTING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Infectious diseases can have a devastating impact on both the healthcare and economic stability of nations. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, infectious diseases account for 9% of the US healthcare spending, translating to nearly $360 billion annually.

Nanomaterial Research is developing nano-coating technologies that can reduce the spread of infectious diseases.

REDUCING HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED DISEASES (HAI'S)

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a critical threat to patient health and safety, affecting 1 in 31 hospitalized patients on any given day in the United States. This results in an annual burden of 722,000 infections and 75,000 deaths.

Nanomaterial Research is developing nano-coating technologies that enables self-cleaning surfaces

SELF-CLEANING PUBLIC SURFACES

High-touch surfaces in common areas, such as hotel remote controls, restaurant menus, and public touchscreens, facilitate the spread of infections. These devices are used by multiple people and create a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and viruses putting everyone at risk of infection.

Nanomaterial Research is developing innovative self-cleaning devices, designed to reduce the spread of infections in common areas.
