- Additional information
- The results of the paper show that the authors’ patented technology (PCT/GB2018/051018) is capable of killing viruses such as COVID-19 within 4 hours. This publication led to a contract with BMT Defence for retrofitting HVAC filters in submarines and other Royal Navy ships with antibacterial/viral foam technology that can filter/deactivate COVID-19 (contact: Research and Development Lead, BMT).
