Prof. Dr. Tarek Abou El Maaty Publishes Innovative Research on Antiviral and Antibacterial Fabrics

Galala University extends its heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Dr. Tarek Abou El Maaty, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs, on the publication of his groundbreaking research titled “Novel Antiviral and Antibacterial Durable Polyester Fabrics Printed with Selenium Nanoparticles (SeNPs).”

With the growing global demand for advanced protective materials—especially following the COVID-19 pandemic—Prof. Dr. Tarek’s research presents a significant step forward in the field of smart textiles and nanotechnology. His study explores the use of Selenium Nanoparticles (SeNPs) to develop multifunctional fabrics that provide both passive and active protection against viral and bacterial threats.

This innovative material has strong potential for use in protective clothing applications, offering new solutions for healthcare workers, first responders, and other professionals exposed to biological risks.

Galala University takes great pride in this achievement, which not only contributes to scientific advancement but also aligns with the university’s mission to support research that improves human health and promotes sustainable innovation.
