Nanoparticles in Antivirus Therapy

Abstract

The new mechanism of the virus activity inhibition is proposed. The idea is based on the nonspecific interaction between the viral particle and nanoparticles forming a stable bound state. The formation of the interaction potential between the virus and nanoparticles is caused by the presence of both linear and nonlinear polarizabilities, leading to the emergence of the attractive and repulsive parts of the potential, respectively.
