Nanotechnology provides an innovative platform for drug delivery and antiviral actions. This book discusses the utilization of nano-based formulations for the control of viral agents. The antiviral potential of green synthesized silver, chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin, photoinduced antiviral carbon nanohorns, and the role of carbon-based materials like fullerenes and carbon nanotubes in the repression of viral antigens are explained. The book also covers nanomaterial-based solutions for SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections.

Features:

Explains theory and practical applications of nanomaterials as antiviral agents
Reviews upscaling of nanomaterials from laboratory to fabrication stage
Illustrates nanocurcumin, silver nanoparticles, and carbon nanoparticles for biomedical applications
Highlights role of nanotechnology in effectively combating viral infections and pandemics
Includes case studies of specific pharma companies

This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students in materials science, microbiology and virology, and pharmaceutical sciences.
