Structurally, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is made up of four types of proteins in which S-protein is indispensable among them, as it causes rapid replication in the host body. Therefore, the glycine and alanine composed of HR1 of S-protein is the ideal target for antiviral action. Different forms of surface-active PPEs can efficiently prevent this transmission in this circumstance. However, the virus can survive on the conventional PPEs for a long time. Hence, the nanotechnological approaches based on engineered nanomaterials coating on medical equipments can potentially prevent the dissemination of infections in public. Silver nanoparticles with tuneable physicochemical properties and versatile chemical functionalization provide an excellent platform to combat the disease. The coating of amine-functionalized silver nanoparticle (especially amine linked to aliphatic chain and trialkoxysilane) in its nanostructured form enables cloths trap and kill efficient. PPEs are a primary and reliable preventive measure, although they are not 100% effective against viral infections. So, developing and commercializing surface-active PPEs with trap and kill efficacy is highly needed to cope with current and future viral infections. This review article discusses the COVID-19 morphology, antiviral mechanism of Ag-NPs against SARS-CoV-2 virus, surface factors that influence viral persistence on fomites, the necessity of antiviral PPEs, and the potential application of amine-functionalized silver nanoparticles as a coating material for the development of trap and kill-efficient face masks and PPE kits.</p>","PeriodicalId":72388,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials & devices (New York, N.Y.)","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9581455/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9715551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper gives an overview of the most important biomolecules that typically must be detected or analyzed in several applications. The paper is structured as follows. First, the conventional architecture and construction of a biosensing system is introduced. We provide an overview of the most common biosensing methods that are currently used for the detection of biomolecules and its analysis. We present an overview of reported biochips, and explain the technology of biofunctionalization and detection principles, including their corresponding advantages and disadvantages. Next, we introduce microfluidics as a method for delivery of the specimen to the biochip sensing area. A special focus lies on material requirements and on manufacturing technology for fabricating microfluidic systems, both for niche and mass-scale production segments. We formulate requirements and constraints for integrating the biochips and microfluidic systems. The possible impacts of the conventional microassembly techniques and processing methods on the entire biomedical system and its specific parts are also described.
