MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018624 A) filed by Merla Chandra Rao, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Feb. 18, for 'self-sterilizing nanoshield polymer with ai-driven surface health analytics.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Angel; Mrs G Radhika; Mr Venkatesh Yadav Gajji; Mrs Vijayakumari G; Mrs D. Shanti Priya; Gutta Saritha; Mr. Merla Chandra Rao; Mr. Gudupudi Ravikumar; Chilukuri Sujatha; and Dr. Bajarang Prasad Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a Self-Sterilizing Nanoshield Polymer integrated with AI-Driven Surface Health Analytics for intelligent contamination control and autonomous hygiene management. The system comprises a multifunctional nanocomposite polymer matrix embedded with antimicrobial nanoparticles and photocatalytic agents configured to provide continuous, self-activated sterilization against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilm formation. Controlled-release mechanisms and catalytic surface reactions enable sustained antimicrobial performance while maintaining material durability and biocompatibility.The polymer layer further incorporates embedded micro- and nanoscale sensors capable of detecting contamination indicators including microbial metabolites, pH variation, surface impedance shifts, moisture levels, and volatile organic compounds. Sensor outputs are processed by an artificial intelligence-based analytics engine employing machine learning and predictive modeling techniques to classify contamination severity, forecast microbial growth patterns, and dynamically optimize sterilization intensity.A closed-loop adaptive control mechanism enables targeted activation of antimicrobial responses, ensuring energy efficiency and extended operational lifespan. The system supports deployment across healthcare environments, public infrastructure, transportation systems, food processing facilities, and high-touch consumer surfaces.Additionally, the invention incorporates intellectual property-oriented design considerations to protect proprietary nanocomposite formulations."
