Hence, it is highly desirable to search for potential antiviral and viricidal elements (materials and coatings) to design personal protective equipment (PPE), hygienic implements, and other devices to fight against the rise of viral pandemics and virus-associated fatal risks [22] . In addition, a large number of studies have reported coating materials containing metal ions (i.e., silver, copper, zinc), which have demonstrated an excellent antiviral ability with long-term, persistent effects [30] [31] [32] [33] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] . Various strategies involved in the development of antiviral and viricidal coatings, like modifying the surface of a substrate via antiviral polymers, incorporation of metal ions/oxides, and functional nanoparticles were discussed. ./cache/cord-352475-cmmpy5u7.txt ./txt/cord-352475-cmmpy5u7.txt
