A self-cleaning plastic wrap that protects surfaces from dangerous bacteria, also repels viruses, new research shows. RepelWrap is now moving toward scaled-up production for the marketplace.
The research is part of an ongoing, broader effort to establish McMaster as a centre for the development of real-time sensors, pathogen-repellent materials and other products that improve food safety.
A new grant is helping McMaster engineers and a Toronto precision-medicine diagnostics company to get infection-testing technology to market while generating opportunities for students.
