Researchers at Wolverhampton University have announced the development of an antiviral material which can be 3D printed and kills the COVID-19 virus.
The material is made from copper, silver and tungsten and was created using a selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printing technique, the team said.
Drawing on its expertise in 3D printing microbial biomaterials, the university’s Additive Manufacturing Functional Materials (AMFM) research group wanted to investigate antiviral materials that could help to reduce airborne and surface-based virus transmission.
Led by the university’s John Robinson, Dr Arun Arjunan and Dr Ahmad Baroutaji, the Wolverhampton researchers partnered with the Ángel Serrano-Aroca’s group from the Catholic University of Valencia’s Biomaterials and Bioengineering Lab for rapid material development and anti-Covid-19 viral analysis.
