OralGift is partnering with Nanox, a company in S\u00e3o Carlos, state of S\u00e3o Paulo. \u201cSilver has antibacterial properties and can eliminate up to 99% of surface bacteria,\u201d says Gustavo Sim\u00f5es, director of the company that developed the technology, which was named NanoxClean. \u201cNanostructured silver is incorporated into a ceramic material (silica), which is then added to the plastic from which the products are made.\u201d The antibacterial cases and stands will initially be targeted at public and private school students. In a second stage, they will be available at drugstores. The technology is also used in a wide range of commercial products, including drinking fountains, hair dryers, rugs, carpets, and food packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Silver nanostructures eliminate bacterial and fungal buildup on toothbrushes","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[259,243,249],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-152696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience","tag-chemistry","tag-innovation","tag-nanotechnology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152696"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=152696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
