The NANOBLOC project continues to achieve remarkable milestones, reflecting the consortium’s dedication to innovation and impact. Recently, partners convened for the hybrid M24 meeting hosted by FAU in Erlangen, where they presented significant advancements and breakthroughs.
Among the meeting’s highlights were the exceptional antibacterial and antiviral properties of the coatings developed within the project. In certain tests, these coatings demonstrated infectivity reductions exceeding 99%, showcasing their potential to address critical health challenges effectively.
Another major accomplishment was the successful preliminary upscaling of one of the project’s cutting-edge technologies. This marks a pivotal step toward industrial implementation, ensuring the technology’s scalability to meet large-scale production demands without compromising its high performance and sustainability.
The meeting concluded with a visit to the laboratories of Prof. Aldo Boccaccini at FAU, providing consortium members with invaluable insights into advanced research facilities and methodologies. This enriching experience strengthened collaboration and knowledge sharing, further solidifying the team’s collective efforts.
These achievements underscore the NanoBloc® consortium’s commitment to delivering practical solutions for public health and environmental safety. With a shared vision and strong collaboration, the project continues to make significant progress toward addressing global health challenges and improving quality of life worldwide.
