TL;DR: A review of prepared antimicrobial polymeric materials for use in coating, food packaging, and textile during the COVID-19 pandemic and after pandemic is presented in this article.
Abstract: The global epidemic owing to COVID-19 has generated awareness to ensuring best practices for avoiding the microorganism spread. Indeed, because of the increase in infections caused by bacteria and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, the global demand for antimicrobial materials is growing. New technologies by using polymeric systems are of great interest. Virus transmission by contaminated surfaces leads to the spread of infectious diseases, so antimicrobial coatings are significant in this regard. Moreover, antimicrobial food packaging is beneficial to prevent the spread of microorganisms during food processing and transportation. Furthermore, antimicrobial textiles show an effective role. We aim to provide a review of prepared antimicrobial polymeric materials for use in coating, food packaging, and textile during the COVID-19 pandemic and after pandemic.

TL;DR: In this article, the nanocomposite hydrogels containing copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) were synthesized through immersion of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel in copper sulfate solution with different concentrations.
Abstract: In this research, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was chemically cross-linked using epichlorohydrin (ECH). The nanocomposite hydrogels containing copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) were synthesized through immersion of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel in copper sulfate solution with different concentrations. The produced Cu2+ ions from copper sulfate were bound to hydroxyl groups via metal complexation. With the addition of NaOH solution, Cu2+ ions were converted to copper oxide nanoparticles. The morphology, surface investigation and identification of nanoparticles in polymer matrix were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Swelling properties of the prepared nanocomposite hydrogels were investigated with various solutions such as the urea, urine, d-glucose, salt solutions (CaCl2 and NaCl) and buffers (pH 1.2 and 7.4). Copper oxide nanoparticles led to an increase in swelling capacity of nanocomposite hydrogels. Indeed, loading and release behaviors of ibuprofen on nanocomposite hydrogels were studied.
