The COVID-19 outbreak adversely affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns. The chemicals & materials industry is among the significant industries suffering from severe disruptions, such as restrictions on the supply chain and the shutdown of production plants. The shutdown of different plants and factories in various countries disrupted the global supply chains and negatively impacted the sales of electrical and paints and coating industries. The consumption of nanocopper oxide was also hampered due to declining demand from end-use industries. Various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future products sales. However, there is ease in the restrictions and manufacturing activities with the introduction of vaccination drives.
Metal oxide nanoparticles consist of unique structure, redox, and catalytic characteristics, high surface area, better mechanical stability, and biocompatibility. Therefore, several metal oxide nanoparticles have gained considerable interest in biomedical therapeutics, bio-imaging, and biosensing applications. The synthesis of nanoparticles of copper oxide with improved size and desirable characteristics has become the foremost thrust area for the biomedical industry. In the biomedical domain, “sensing” constitutes to be a major application area of nanomaterials pertaining to their nano size and extraordinary physicochemical features. Although, with the advancement in technology, a paradigm shift has been made toward “theranostic” mix of sensing and therapeutic characteristics on a single platform. Apart from this, copper oxide nanoparticles are efficiently used for targeting in vivo and in vitro environments. In future, CuO NPs for biomedical applications may involve identification and detection of disease or viruses in the human body. For instance, several studies represent that CuO NPs can be used for the detection of H1N1 flu virus. Further, one of the most interesting innovations in the medical industry is the use of bed sheets containing CuO NPs as they reduce the chances of microbial infections within hospitals. Also, the use of CuO NPs in pillowcases and beddings has been associated with an improved aspect of the facial and foot skin. Therefore, with the rise in investment in R&D activities, along with increase in advancements in the biomedical industry, the demand for nanocopper oxide is expected to rise in the coming years.
