Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for improved personal protective equipment (PPE). Green-synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) extract offer a sustainable solution to enhance PPE effectiveness against infectious diseases. This eco-friendly approach utilises pandan’s bioactive compounds to reduce silver ions into nanoparticles, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical synthesis methods. The resulting AgNPs exhibit potent antimicrobial and antiviral properties, making them valuable for incorporation into PPE fabrics and coatings. Beyond antimicrobial benefits, pandan-derived AgNPs may impart natural fragrances and skin-soothing properties, enhancing user comfort. The green synthesis process reduces environmental impact and potential toxicity associated with conventional chemical methods. While challenges in scaling production, ensuring regulatory compliance, and assessing long-term health and environmental effects persist, pandan-derived AgNPs-coated PPE represents an innovative approach to infection prevention. This technology has the potential to significantly improve safety measures in healthcare and other high-risk environments while promoting sustainability.

从扁豆提取物中提取绿色合成纳米银粒子：在后 COVID 时代提高个人防护设备的有效性和可持续性

COVID-19 大流行凸显了改进个人防护设备（PPE）的迫切需要。利用板蓝根（Pandanus amaryllifolius）提取物合成的绿色银纳米粒子（AgNPs）提供了一种可持续的解决方案，可提高个人防护设备（PPE）抵御传染病的效果。这种生态友好型方法利用丹参的生物活性化合物将银离子还原成纳米粒子，为传统的化学合成方法提供了一种可持续的替代方法。由此产生的 AgNPs 具有强大的抗菌和抗病毒特性，因此非常适合用于个人防护设备织物和涂层。除了抗菌功效外，从丹参中提取的 AgNPs 还能带来天然香味和皮肤舒缓特性，提高使用者的舒适度。绿色合成工艺减少了传统化学方法对环境的影响和潜在毒性。虽然在扩大生产规模、确保符合法规要求以及评估长期健康和环境影响方面仍存在挑战，但由熊猫提取的 AgNPs 涂层个人防护设备代表了一种预防感染的创新方法。这项技术有可能大大改善医疗保健和其他高风险环境中的安全措施，同时促进可持续发展。
