No - not Butter
Toothfairy on the uppers - UG - usual ****e - can't be arsed to read it anymore TBH - even after a few Ciders..
The TECH will deliver.
Imagine the Old Days before NANO:
'Ring-a-ring-o'-roses' - The Great Plague
Search for: What does the poem Ring a ring a roses mean?
Is Ring Around the Rosie a bad song?
What does we all fall down mean?
A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down.
The explanation goes that the roses refer to a rosy rash, which is said to be a symptom of the plague; that children would hold a posy of herbs to ward off the plague or its smell; and that SNEEZING * is a reference to plague symptoms.1 Feb 2017
A bit dramatic - anyone here seen the cases of infection rising on the news?
64% Vaccinated (no Herding for us sadly) * Obvs
Fingers crossed - non mask use and travel / relaxation opens up some tax revenue for the UK - or a very hard time ahead.
Come on England
2-1 England Sunday - Put a tenner on ;)
Importantly, copper ions have been shown to destroy DNA and other genetic material inside the microbe; a particularly effective property as it prevents the microbe from mutating, developing resistance and coming back in another more-destructive form. Copper has been shown to kill 99.9% of most pathogens within two hours of contact and, in some cases, demonstrated better properties than other expensive metals with antimicrobial activity, such as silver and gold.
While the antimicrobial properties of copper surfaces are now firmly established, nano-copper offers enhanced benefits. Due to their size, the physical properties of nanomaterials enable functionality that is not achievable with other micron-scale additives. Additionally, nanomaterials provide a superior platform for the modulation of coatings and substrate properties. The larger surface-area-to-volume ratio in nanoparticles requires a smaller mass or weight of active material to achieve the same antimicrobial activity compared to larger copper particles. Incorporating antimicrobial technology becomes more cost-effective for both manufacturer and end-user - an issue which has hindered take-up on a large scale to date.
The smaller the better
At the nano-scale, copper particles interact easily with bacterial membranes and the integrity of the bacterial cell membranes changes noticeably causing bacterial cell death.
Where surfaces have to be smooth (e.g. tables, walls or display screens) - such as in the cleanroom setting - nano-copper incorporated into a coating is an ideal solution; regular copper particles can result in an uneven, rough finish, providing a perfect surface for microorganisms to adhere to. Additionally, nano-copper has no impact on standard surface functionalities such as abrasion resistance, durability and liquid repellence. In fact, they can be optimised even further by creating different, more complex nanostructure
