New Report on Global Market for Anti-Microbial Nanocoatings

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Anti-Microbial Nanocoatings" report to their offering.

New legislation and growing microbial resistance against metal ions, antibiotics and the development of resistant strains has resulted in coating manufacturers seeking alternatives to traditional anti-microbial coatings.

The development of anti-microbial agents with low toxicity and ability to inhibit microbial contamination is a key issue in the development of new coatings for healthcare, packaging and food and pharmaceutical production. The ability of nanoparticles to meet these has lead to their increased use in these and numerous other markets.

Key Topics Covered:

1. ANTI-MICROBIAL NANOCOATINGS
   Market summary, commercially available anti-microbial agents, market needs and the role of nanomaterials.
