- The Department of Science and Technology (DST) using the Science and Engineering Board (SERB) portal invites ideas in the form of short-term proposals for developing antiviral Nano-coating and new nano based material for use in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which can be transferred to a partnering industry or start-up for scale up.
- Such Nano coatings could contribute immensely in the emerging health care requirements in India’s fight against the COVID-19
- The invitation calls for development of Antiviral Nano-coatings for producing anti-COVID-19 Triple Layer Medical masks and N-95 respirator or better masks in large quantities and PPEs for safeguarding health care workers against COVID-19.
- The industry contribution could include either manpower support, or support partly for testing of nano-coating to meet the EU or US standards.
